An exceptionally large (18 in diameter) porcelain charger with many different, non-repetitive scenes of dragons, kirins, and a phoenix.
The charger has been painted with polychrome enamels and gilt in very intricate designs surrounding a central landscape scene. The under-glaze cobalt used is a very pleasing pale blue color. This cobalt blue is also used on the underside in paintings of birds and clouds. There is a shallow rounded unglazed foot with six saggar marks on the glazed base.
There is a square Japanese makers mark in cobalt blue on the base.
