Could you tell us more about the dish? When it was purchased and where? From an antique shop, road side seller or online auction?

Thank you Pyromaniac,
I exchanged the dish with one of my painting collection to antique collector last Dec. He assumed the dish came from Ming dynasty. However, I am little bit doubt because the dish looks very fine and mint condition, no crack, no scratch. Any opinion on this case? Thank you

I have doubts that the dish is real. The incised decoration looks very odd. Although at first glance the base looks correct with the unfired ring and spur mark, the exposed clay that is burned orange looks like it has been brushed on and rubbed in rather than clay burnt orange in the kiln like a brick.
