Description

à décor d'un médaillon central abritant différentes fleurs dans leur feuillage, parmi lesquelles lotus, pivoines et marguerite, le pourtour extérieur orné de deux dragons à cinq griffes intercalés de deux fleurs de lotus dans des rinceaux stylisés, marque à six caractères dans un double cercle en bleu sous couverte à la base

Condition

The rim slightly polished down all around ; some surface scratches and a couple of tiny burst air bubbles to the medallion inside, a few minor impurities and pin-prick air bubbles around the cavetto and beneath the base, but overall the dish is in good condition. The white ground is slightly more grey than the illustration would suggest in the catalogue.
