The dish is of circular form with a central design of a vase of flowers including narcissus, chrysanthemum, peony, pine and prunus flowers. There is a floral scrolling border.

37cm diameter

Condition

There is a hairline crack to the rim and across the cavetto, which have been reinforced by a restorer. Small chips to the foot rim have been filled. There is some light rubbing to the gilt and to the enamels, otherwise it is in reasonably good condition.

Note

The flowers of the prunus and pine are symbols of winter, the narcissus and peony are symbols of spring and the chrysanthemum is a perennial, which is added to any flower arrangement at any time of the year, as a group they symbolize the advent of the New Year.
