Dish - Porcelain

Dish base in Chinese porcelain, of popular or provincial character production, attributed to the late 19th century, with hand-painted decoration in cobalt blue under glaze.

Circular in shape, it has gently curved walls, a smooth rim, and a ring foot. The background is dominated by a large stylized carp, depicted with long barbels, extended fins, and scales drawn through a fine lattice. The painting combines areas of intense blue with more diluted brushstrokes, giving movement to the composition.

Around the fish, curvilinear strokes develop, evoking water, on the white background of a slightly bluish tone. The reverse is undecorated and without visible marks, with the foot surface glazed on the underside.
