The unglazed channeled foot that appears on the present dish appears to have been used by the potters at Jingdezhen for a short period of time around 1670, and disappears in the second half of the Kangxi period. For other examples of Kangxi-period dishes with this feature see An Era of Inspiration, 17th Century Porcelain from the Collection of Julia and John Curtis; Christie's New York, lots 3581, 3583, and 3589.
