This superbly carved Dingyao dish with delicate ivory-coloured glaze is notable for its skilfully carved decoration. The flowing lines successfully capture the spirit and grace of the flowers and dynamism of the chilong, like brush strokes in contemporary ink pai💟nting, while accentuating the refined qualit🦩y of the porcelain body.
