AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
Chinese porcelain charger from the Wanli period (Late Ming dynasty, 1572-1620). The plate is decorated in underglaze cobalt blue. In the central medallion is depicted a man in traditional attire alongside a goose, likely evoking the literati figure Wang Xizhi, a renowned calligrapher and civil official famous for his love of geese. He is said to have been inspired by the graceful forms of geese for his brushwork, and many artworks show him in garden settings with geese.
The rim and body of the front are finely painted, and the reverse is simply decorated, in keeping with many Wanli period chargers.
