DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Saucer dish.  Hard-paste porcelain with a powder-blue ground and painted in famille verte enamels, and gilding.  The shallow rounded sides resting on a very low tapered foot.  The interior has five gilt-edged vignettes in famille verte enamels; the central square medallion with notched corners and enclosing three conch-shells, each with the head of a dragon peeping out, one with a flaming pearl, floating on a sea of swirling green waves above a tall jagged rock, the sun setting in the distance above a line of crested pale greenwaves; the medallion is encircled by two circular and two fan-shaped vignettes, the latter enclosing floral sprays growing behind pierced rockwork beside an iron-red fence, and the former with matching scenes of shells amongst foaming green waves.  All in reserve against the mottled bright blue ground.  The underside is also blue, and the rim and base are white.  The base has two concentric circles in underglaze blue enclosing the mark.
