PLATE XIII
Circular dish with low slanting sides and flat centre,
resting on three " cabriole " legs. Soft white pottery with
incised designs glazed white and yellow in a blue ground.
The glaze is soft looking and, as usual, finely crazed. In the
centre is the design of a mirror of " water-chestnut " form
enclosing a medallion with a flying crane. Dishes of this
form have been found in tombs with a number of small cups
set out on them.
T'ang dynasty. D. 115".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.
