Yuan Blue-and-White Fish and Aquatic Plants Dish

This is a Yuan dynasty blue-and-white dish decorated with fish and aquatic plants. Swimming fish and aquatic plants adorn the surface, surrounded by orderly bands of floral, scrolling foliage, and geometric patterns. The cobalt tones vary in intensity, while the finely rendered rim decoration and flowing lines convey the character of hand-painted ornament. Signs of refiring are visible on the surface, and the overall decoration is relatively well preserved. Diameter approximately 44.5 cm
