Dish. Hard-paste porcelain painted in a good clear enamel palette of iron-red, yellow, blue, black, turquoise, aubergine and two tones of green enhanced with gilding. It has shallow rounded sides with a broad everted rim. The interior is vividly painted with a phoenix swooping down towards its mate which is perched on an outcrop of pale green pierced rockwork flanked by floweing tree peony and rose, enclircled round the rim by eight radiating panels alternately enclosing flowers growing from rockwork and mythical beasts - kylin and Buddhist lions - divided by tasselled ruyi-heads. The underside has four sprays of flowering iron-red peony. The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
