Description from the seller
A Rare Late Ming Ko-Sometsuke ‘Rabbit and Moon’ Dish, Tianqi Period (1621–1627)
Delicately potted with a foliate rim, painted in vibrant cobalt blue with a central medallion depicting a seated hare gazing at the moon amid grass, encircled by a band of stylized waves and blossoms. The cavetto with alternating floral and landscape panels beneath a blue-glazed rim. The reverse bears an apocryphal Chenghua nian zhi mark within double circles.
A poetic and charming design from the Tianqi period, representing one of the most engaging motifs of late Ming export porcelain.
No Hair lines, restoration or cracks, just some rim fritting as expected of late Ming porcelain.
