The design of the current dish is closely related to that found on an underglaze blue example excavated from the Yongle stratum from the Ming Imperial kiln site at Zhushan, Jingdezhen, see Imperial Hongwu and Yongle Porcelain excavated at Jingdezhen, Taipei, 1996, pp. 154-155, no. 45.
Compare to a similarly designed 'lychee' Longquan dish, of a smaller size (33.6 cm.), dated yongle period, sold in Christie's Hong Kong, 27 November 2019, lot 3001. Also see a Longquan 'lychee' dish from the J.T. Tai collection, sold in Sotheby’s New York, 22 March 2011, lot 86.
It is interesting to notice the Persian inscription to the base of our current charger which was likely engraved by one of its previous owners. See a yellow-glazed Hongzhi dish in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Accession number 551-1878), also bearing an engraved inscription in Persian, ahangir Shah-e Akbar Shah 1021 (1612-13 AD), meaning that it was owned by the Mughal emperor Jahangir, son of, and successor to, Akbar.
