編號
This rare bracket-lobed dish was most likely inspired by contemporaneous lacquer dishes
of the same shape such as the black lacquer example dated to the Yuan dynasty illustrated
by Giuseppe Eskenazi, A Dealer’s Hand, London, 2012, p. 238, pl. 161 and another example
sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 April 2001, lot 627. (Fig. 1) Similar barbed petals can also
be seen on the black lacquer dish with eight rather than six petals illustrated by Lee King Tsi
and Hu Shih Chang in the exhibition catalogue, Dragon and Phoenix: Chinese Lacquer, The
Lee Family Collection, Tokyo, Museum of East Asian Art, Cologne, 1990, p. 70, no. 22, dated
to the Yuan dynasty.

and rare black

(1279-1368), sold
