A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE QILIN DISH

Reference: ART1008781

Stoutly potted with rounded sides rising from a short tapered foot, the interior boldly painted in strong tones of cobalt blue with an animated Qilin sitting on its scaly back haunches, bearing a benign expression, the head gazing backward with bulging eyes and mouth agape revealing sharp fangs and emitting wisps of qi, all amidst rockwork and a lush plantain tree, the rim is brown glazed.
Diameter: 33.5 cm.
