DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Dish.  Hard-paste porcelain painted in a bright enamel palette of iron-red, two greens, turquoise, yellow, aubergine, blue and black enhanced with gilding.  The shallow rounded sides spring from a low tapered foot and rise to a broad everted rim.  The interior has a scene from the 'Three Kingdoms' depicting a Mandarin, seated, playing the qin and flanked by attendants on a balcony set above the gates of a city.  The name of the city xi cheng (Western City) is written above the archway and a large iron-red flag emblazoned dashu (Great Kingdom) is fluttering to one side.  There are two boys sweeping beneath the gate and a group of three warriors on horseback outside the city walls gazing back at the Mandarin, accompanied by two attendants on foot waving banners, one with the Eight Trigrams.  The rim has a brocade-diaper border reserved with six landscape vignettes.
