A BLUE AND WHITE ‘DRAGON’ DISH
GUANGXU PERIOD, LATE 19TH CENTURY
清光绪 青花云龙纹盘
ESTIMATE: $2,000 – $4,000
Description
This elegantly potted dish is finely painted in vibrant shades of underglaze blue with a classic imperial motif. The interior center is decorated with a spirited five-clawed dragon writhing amidst stylized flame clouds, its scales and muscular form rendered with meticulous detail. The exterior wall is further adorned with two similar dragons pursuing flaming pearls, set between double-line borders at the rim and foot.
The base bears a six-character mark in underglaze blue in regular script (kaishu) reading “Da Qing Guangxu Nian Zhi” (Made in the Guangxu Reign of the Great Qing). The cobalt blue is characteristic of the late 19th-century revival of high-quality porcelain production at Jingdezhen, exhibiting a bright and clear tone against the smooth, white-glazed ground.

• Diameter: 17.4 cm (6.85 in)
CONDITION REPORT
The dish is in excellent condition. The glaze retains a brilliant luster with no visible cracks, chips, or professional restorations. Only minor shelf wear to the unglazed foot rim is noted, consistent with age.
