Visually commanding for the dense design of a dragon and
phoenix amongst clouds covering a large form, the present
charger is a magnificent example of the technical proficiency
of craftsmen employed at the Imperial kilns in Jingdezhen.
The creative ingenuity of the Yongzheng potter is evident in
the perfectly positioned and spaced elements of the design
so that, despite its dense composition, attention is cleverly
drawn to the central dragon and phoenix.
A closely related charger in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is
published in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the
Palace Museum. Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting
Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 217; another from the
Yokogawa collection is included in the Illustrated Catalogue
of Tokyo National Museum. Chinese Ceramics II, Tokyo,
1990, pl. 639; and another was included in the exhibition
