This is a boat-shaped, uniquely shaped plate purchased at an antique market. The shape is unusual, but the design is also rare. It depicts a figure resting with a fan. In the distance, a house surrounded by a wall can be seen. It is likely a copy of a Chinese piece. It is thinly made and carefully drawn. It is thought to have been an expensive, high-quality item at the time. The rim is also elaborate. It's a deformed lotus pattern. There is some crazing on a part of the rim. It is probably unavoidable given the way it was made. Size: Width: Approximately 15.5 cm Depth: Approximately 10.5 cm Height: Approximately 4.5 cm
