Condition
The dish appears to have been fitted to a stand at some time, at which point part of the ribbing on the outer footrim was removed in all seven cases, and the footrim was trimmed. Minor dents and general surface wear to the body. The patina is slightly darker in reality.

The form of this dish is known in porcelain and lacquer, but is rare to find in bronze. For a gilt-lacquered box and cover of this distinctive foliate form, excavated at Jiangyang, and now in the Suzhou Museum, inscribed with a cyclical mark corresponding to A.D. 1405, see Harry Garner, Chinese Lacquer, London, 1979, pls. 106 and 107. For a Yuan dynasty lotus-shaped blue and white dish in the Shanghai Museum, see The Complete Works of Chinese Ceramics, vol. 10, Shanghai, 2000, no. 160.
When sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in 1983, the mark was guaranteed, but due to the large number of later incense burners which the Xuande output inspired and the absence of emergence of any definitive standard for determining the dating of this group of marked bronzes, it is difficult to attribute it firmly to the Xuande period.

For another Xuande reign-marked bronze dish of this form, see Christie's New York, 20th September 2002, lot 178.
