PROVENANCE

A Hong Kong private collection, acquired in the 1970s

A nearly identical identical example is in the collection of the Hong
Kong Museum of Art, exhibited in The Wonders of the Potter’s Palette:
Qing Ceramics from the Collection of the Hong Kong Museum of
Art, 2 November 1984-6 January 1985, no. 25 (fig. 1). Another nearly
identical example is in the Baur Collection, illustrated in J. Ayers, The
Baur Collection, vol. IV, 1974, no. A555. The Baur dish has additional
black enamels later applied to obliterate the fifth claw on each of the
dragon’s feet.
