Wanli marks and of the period
Each modeled with a thin, flared rim around the curving shallow well painted in underglaze blue and enamels in typical shades depicting a spirited five-clawed dragon and a swooping phoenix amid leafy flower branches encircling a flaming pearl, all surrounded by a scrolling lotus band on the side walls, the exterior decorated with the Eight Daoist symbols, the recessed base inscribed with the six-character mark in underglaze blue regular script within a double ring, framed by a short circular foot ring.
7in (17.8cm) diameter (2).
