Literature

Soame Jenyns, Ming Pottery and Porcelain, London, 1953, pls. 56 and 57a (rev. ed. 1988, pls. 102-4 and col. pl. H) illustrates four different examples, two of the Xuande and Chenghua (AD 1465-87) periods from the British Museum, London, a Hongzhi (AD 1488-1505) dish from the Riesco collection, Croyden, and a Zhengde (AD 1506-21) piece from the Sir Percival David Collection, now also in the British Museum; a rare Jiajing dish of this design in the Meiyintang collection is illustrated in Krahl, op. cit., vol. 2, no. 684. Compare a similar dish with Xuande mark in the Percival David Collection-British Museum.

More information

This striking yellow-and-blue colour scheme appears to have come into use in the Xuande reign (AD 1426-35) and the present design remained popular at Jingdezhen from the Xuande right through to the Jiajing period (AD 1522-66).
