Subject:Monkey dish - blue and white - Ming?
Posted By: JLim Tue, Dec 04, 2012 IP: 58.173.40.189
Hi all
Another recently acquired dish, with an alleged monkey painted in the middle. From the roughness of the painting I would say it is from a slightly downmarket private Jingdezhen kiln, maybe minyao or kosometsuke type. Or maybe swatow?
From the pinkish footrim and the chatter marks I would estimate at least Early Transitional or possibly Wanli.
Does anyone have an opinion of this monkey dish?
Kind rgds
