Biscuit-decorated white monochrome bowls and dishes were produced during the Hongzhi and succeeding Zhengde reigns. To create these imperial wares, the area that was to remain in the biscuit (the main body of the dragon and perhaps some of the surrounding clouds) is incised in the unbaked body and covered with a layer of wax. Next, the piece is glazed all over except for the protected waxed areas. During firing, the wax melts away and the unglazed design is incised in the biscuit.
A Hongzhi dish of a similar size is illustrated by S. Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, p. 161, no. 155 and a larger example is published by J. Kalter, Ferne Völker Frühe Zeiten, Recklinghausen, 1982, p. 224, fig. F29.
