AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
An exceptional Chinese kraak porcelain plate from the Wanli period (1572–1620), Late Ming dynasty. The plate is decorated in remarkably deep and intense underglaze cobalt blue — a tone rarely encountered with such richness and clarity.
The central medallion depicts a goose standing on a rock, rendered with expressive brushwork and surrounded by the typical kraak-style paneling. The extraordinary depth of the cobalt blue gives this piece a powerful visual presence and sets it apart from more commonly seen examples.
Kraak porcelain of this quality, with such strong and saturated blue tones, is increasingly difficult to find.
