A MING CARVED CINNABAR AND GREEN LACQUER INGOT- Whilst our dish can be classified as ingot-shaped, it is clearly not as
SHAPED TRAY pronounced as a slightly larger Jiajing-marked ingot-shaped dish
Hongwu mark, 16th century illustrated in Carved Lacquer in the Collection of the Palace Museum,
Carved within a panel mirroring the trays shape with a scholarly figure 1985, pl. 190. The Hongwu mark, one rarely seen in lacquer ware, is
fishing from a promontory beneath maple and a cloud supporting a clearly apocryphal though the style of the cinnabar decoration with its
Daoist pavilion, set within a border of prunus and another flower, the deep carving of both the borders and the central scene in combination
exterior with a wide band of composite floral sprays revealing a paler with thickly-outlined border surrounds appears to clearly place its
ground beneath, with an engraved gilt six-character mark in a vertical production in the Ming period, probably, more specifically during the
line to the base. Jiajing reign (1522-1566).
