Description from the seller
This is a rare underglaze blue and red dragon-patterned plate from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty (1426-1435). The dragon motif is set against a blue and white porcelain background. Its craftsmanship is exquisite, the painting delicate, the shape unique, and the workmanship meticulous. The perfect combination of blue and red glaze makes it highly collectible. The bottom is inscribed with six characters: “Made in the Xuande period of the Great Ming Dynasty,” the characters being extremely fine. Due to the extreme rarity of Xuande period porcelain, this piece is even more valuable to collectors.
