AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic Chinese blue-and-white decorated crackle porcelain plate from the late Ming dynasty, Wanli period (1573–1620).
Decorations and features:
• Front: In the central medallion, a detailed scene of two deer in a landscape beneath a pine tree, in Chinese tradition the symbol of a long life and prosperity. The fluted edge is divided into the characteristic panels filled with flowering sprigs and peaches, alternating with narrow intervening panels.
• Back: Equipped with the classical panel layout with the well-known spiral motif surrounded by four dots. The unglazed foot ring shows the authentic baked-on kiln sand and the bottom bears the characteristic chatter marks (streaks and small pits in the glaze).
Dimensions:
• Diameter: [enter number of cm here, e.g. 20.5 cm]
• Height: [enter number of cm here, e.g. 3.5 cm]
Condition (note – glued):
The plate has been broken in the past and re-glued. The old crack and glue seams are visible, especially on the rear. Additionally, a small shard is missing from the upper rim and the edge shows the usual light rim wear (fritting) appropriate to an age of more than 400 years. Supplied with the metal hanging hook. Please view all photos carefully for a complete view of the current condition.
