In the central medallion appears a classic Wanli “antiques and precious objects” motif, representing scholarly treasures and auspicious symbols deeply rooted in Chinese cultural tradition.
The reverse is decorated in a typical Wanli manner with simple cartouche divisions. The rim shows characteristic kiln adhesions and firing marks often encountered on late Ming pieces, adding authenticity and charm.
