Ruby-red monochrome Chinese Qing Dynasty plate, the porcelain potted with a shallow body, of a shallow vessel, broad wide cavetto, with a slightly flared lip and shallow draft. The exterior masterfully covered in an even coat of a ruby-red glaze which terminates at the base to reveal the pure white underglaze. The red glaze creates a mottled effect around the rim which is likened unto the blushing of human skin. The foot rim reveals the cut edges during the making process, and the receded central interior base left white underglaze. A characteristic heaped and piled effect, the underglaze grayish-blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep red-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design. Elegantly upon a carved hardwood stand, fitted unto a pale-brown silk covered hard-cushion, all sets inside an original hardwood lidded box. The clay is very fine, with a brilliant glaze finish that was applied by a meticulous, the shape is uniformly proportioned.


The Under-base bears a reign mark, an embossed six seal script characters reign mark, Made of the years Qianlong Reign Period of Great Qing Dynasty.
