Description
Vietnam, late 15th–early 16th century.'Blue and white' porcelain.Conditions: good (a restored small chip). A large, round dish with cobalt blue underglaze decoration. The upper edge, foot and base are not glazed; the base is dark brown due to the effect of fire on the impasto. The plateÂ’s inner decoration comprises a series of parallel bands decorated with floral motifs, arranged around the large circular medallion adorned with a luxuriant peony. The exterior features a sequence of petal-shaped panels.Vietnamese earthenware production using porcelain-based impasto with blue-and-white decoration began in the 14th century, shortly after it had been tested with great success in the China of the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368).As for similar Chinese porcelain produced in the Jingdezhen kilns, this Vietnamese ware (certainly inspired by the Chinese) was also mainly intended for export, above all to the countries of Southeast Asia, although there is evidence of the arrival of Vietnamese ceramics in Europe and the Middle East. The presence of a bottle in the wonderful Topkapı Palace Museum collections in Istanbul, inscribed with the date of the eighth year of Dai Hoa, in other words 1450, is significant (R.L. Hobson, "Chinese Porcelains at Costantinople", in "Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society", 1933-1934, pp. 9-21). For a series of similar Vietnamese plates see, for instance, J. Guy, "Oriental Trade Ceramics in Southeast Asia", exhibition catalogue, Victoria 1980, nos. 100-102); other similar pieces in C.M. Yong - M-F. Dupoizat - E.W. Lane, "Vietnamese Ceramics", Singapore 1982, nn. 106, 108, 125, 152, 189); another illustrated in J. Carswell, "Blue and White. Chinese Porcelain and Its Impact on the Western World", exhibition catalogue, Chicago 1985, n. 41). Diametro 37,7 cm
