LARGE Yuan blue and white Chinese porcelain charger.
Of a shallow dish body with a flora petal-barbed rim. The central medallion well-painted in soft violet-blue tones with composite floral blooms, borne on slender interlaced vines within a octagonal flori-form ruyi shaped petal cartouche of double-lines conforming to the gently fluted cavetto. Band of floral spray and wavy waters bordered along the outer rim. The exterior with stylized chrysanthemum blooms in arrays decorating on each lobed petal. A characteristic ‘heaped and piled effect’, the underglaze cobalt blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep blue-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy and shading to the design.
The underside left un-glazed revealed the grayish-creme base, with orange-brown and dark-grayish firing spots.
Mark on the exterior rim, a red Arabic seal mark, and other seal mark with two blue Arabic letters.


Dimensions: 3-1/4" H x 20-1/4" Dia.

Over all in EXCELLENT condition.
