This is a Chinese Ming Dynasty underglaze red lotus flower dish. The lotus flower design is painted in underglaze red using copper oxide on a white porcelain body, with a soft red color that appears to seep into the glaze. The glaze has a gentle depth, and the dish exhibits the refined and elegant style characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. Underglaze red is difficult to fire successfully, making this a valuable piece that demonstrates the advanced firing techniques of the time. There are minor scratches and changes to the glaze due to aging, but the overall condition is good. This is a recommended piece for collecting and appreciating antique ceramics.
