Description:
|
The saucer has a flat center, shallow rounded sides, a flared rim, and a line of Tibetan characters that surrounds the rim. The center has three layers of lotus and two pairs of mandarin ducks. One mandarin duck looks down from the sky while the other amuses itself in the water. The other pair of mandarin ducks paddles leisurely in the water, which is decorated with water lilies. There are four bushes of lotus and four mandarin ducks on the exterior, and each mandarin duck engages in a lonesome paddle. This colorful picture of mandarin ducks in a lotus pond is formed by drawing the silhouettes of the genre in underglaze blue, and then followed by coloring them with overglaze red, green, and brown enamels. Within the foot ring is the reign mark - "made in the Chenghua period of Great Ming" - within a double ring.
