- About this work
-
This porcelain dish executed at the London Chelsea Porcelain Factory is a close copy of an imported late seventeenth-century Japanese model. The use of underglaze blue, iron red enamel and gilding imitates so-called Imari wares. The stylised flower decoration of chrysanthemums is closely related to contemporary Japanese brocaded textile designs, and the scalloped outline of the dish is itself inspired by a floral form.
