A RARE LARGE BLUE AND WHITE DISH
EARLY KANGXI PERIOD, CIRCA 1662-74
The dish has shallow rounded sides that rise to a slightly everted rim, and is finely painted in the interior with an unusual scene of a pair of large cranes amidst trees in the foreground, while in the background a farmer and two scholars are shown on a promontory in a mountainous river landscape in which a waterfall cascades. There is a narrow band of pine boughs at the rim, and on the exterior are two sprays of bamboo. There is an apocryphal Chenghua mark on the base, which is surrounded by a channeled foot.
14 1/16 in. (35.9 cm.) diam.

The fine painting of the landscape on this dish may be compared to that seen on three dishes, dated c. 1662-1674, illustrated by Sir Michael Butler et al., Seventeenth Century Chinese Porcelain from the Butler Family Collection, Alexandria, Virginia, 1990, pp. 144-6, nos. 93-95, where the painting is described as 'Master of the Rocks' style.
