A YELLOW-GLAZED DISH MARK AND PERIOD OF ZHENGDE

the shallow rounded sides rising from a tapered foot and undercut footring to an everted rim, with a shallow recess on the interior, covered overall with a warm straw-yellow glaze slightly pooling to a darker tone on one side of the rim, the slightly convex base reserved in white and inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character reign mark within double circles

This dish is overall in quite good condition. There is a minute frit on the rim and some expected wear and light scratches on the interior. The actual colour is quite close to the catalogue illustration.
