    6. Underglaze blue porcelain ‘grape’ dish

    Ming dynasty, Yongle period, 1403 - 1424
    Diameter: 37.8cm

    First exhibited by Eskenazi in 1989 as part of the Reach collection, this dish is beautifully painted with a design of three bunches of grapes hanging from a vine, the space filled with luscious fruit, palmate leaves and twisting tendrils. Examples of this type of dish are found in museum collections, including five formerly kept in the Ardabil Shrine and now in the National Museum of Iran, Tehran. The design was later a source of inspiration for Iznik potters making dishes in the first half of the sixteenth century.
