Description:
Chinese export porcelain circular dish or shallow bowl with a blue and gold border and blue and gold geometric design in the well. The decoration found on this dish is most frequently associated with earthenwares from the Wedgwood factory. This design is identified as "no. 333" in Wedgwood's first pattern book. Its use on Chinese porcelain is rather unusual, and provides a nice example of Chinese potters copying western designs. The curving rim is bordered with bands of gilding and underglaze blue above an interlaced band of blue icicles and dots highlighted with gilding. The center well has an abstract circular design formed of interlaced icicles and dots within blue and gilded circles.
