Lot Essay

The Song and Yuan dynasties are renowned for the simple elegance of both their lacquer and ceramic ware, where restrained decoration and beautifully-balanced elegant shapes were the main characteristics. The present dish succinctly exemplifies the design concepts of the period. Its slender chrysanthemum petal fluting is much rarer than the broader lobes seen on a number of other lacquer and ceramic objects dating to the Song-Yuan periods.
For a comparable chrysanthemum-shaped dish (although black lacquered), see lot 622 sold in our Hong Kong Rooms, 30 April 2001.
