This dish is in the form of an artemisia leaf and is enamelled on the biscuit with yellow splashes on a green ground. The reverse has an almost metallic brown-green glaze. The rim is polished. This was sold as a late Ming or Transitional piece but today we think an early Kangxi date is more likely.
