the interior carved and combed with peony patterns within a thin circular band, the underside incised freely with circular strokes, the base coated with celadon glaze within a double-cut ring, 22.2cm diam. Estimate AU$ 11,000 - 13,000 (€7,600 - 9,000)

Note: The fine carving on both sides, and the coating within the double cut to the base both indicate that this plate was probably made for the high court during the Northern Song dynasty.
