Finely incised on the interior with a large five-clawed dragon pursuing a flaming pearl, encircled by a pair of dragons similarly rendered on the exterior; covered overall with an intense bluish-purple glaze that stops short of the foot and drains at the rim to a paler violet hue; the white base with a six-character underglaze blue Kangxi reign mark within a double circle.

Provenance: from a private collection, Rome.

Catalogue notes:

See an identical dish in the collection of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, inventory no. SN11122.251 (link), included in the exhibition Chinese Ceramics: The Koger Collection, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, 1985, pag. 172, no. 144, where it suggests that the dish is part of an imperial service and that the style continues the genre established under the Ming dynasty, although the color employed is comparatively more recent and therefore from the early Qing dynasty. Also see the dish in the collection of the Shanghai Museum of Art, illustrated in Kangxi Porcelains from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, pag. 339, no. 224. Another is illustrated in Chinese Porcelain: The S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, Hong Kong, 1987, vol. 1, no. 144.
