| A very unusual pair of hakku-kaku, eight sided, or square canted form moulded dish probably adapted from a metal or lacquer form. It is decorated with a Sansui Chinese landscape with the subject of a fisherman on a lake. Fishing and fishermen were a popular motif in classic Chinese painting. The composition is painted in a pencilled calligraphic style “senbeki” modelled on the so-called “Master of the Rocks”; a style of decoration found on late Ming and early Qing Transitional porcelain. Unusually the central motif is replicated and condensed to appear as part of the borders pattern, both on the front and reverse of the dish. The rim is finished with a dark brown iron oxide fuchi-beni, literally lip rouge glaze. A six character mark for the Chinese Emperor Jiaqing 1522-1556 within the foot-rim reading in Japanese Dai Min Kasei Nensei. The dish measures 18.5cms in width, and 22cms as measured diagonally and is 7cms high. Condition is excellent, no cracks, chips or restoration just the usual imperfections and kiln flaws. Dating c.1690-1720. Additional images on request. | ||
