Dish with fruiting and flowering branches
Potters painted flowering gardenia in the centre. There are four flower and fruit sprays in the cavetto, including grapevine, lotus, pomegranate and persimmon. Outside it is incised with a band of scrolling gardenia. The combination of iron-brown on a white ground is unusual but was a technique invented in the early fifteenth century. The base has a six-character underglaze cobalt-blue Zhengde reign mark.
