The Pair of Plates with Lotus Pond and Duck Decor are decorated with three red lotus blossoms in a pond and a pair of mandarin ducks, one above and one below. The ducks 'heads and wingtips are a bright blue and their wing and body feathers are light brown. With their exquisite craftsmanship and handsome composition, the plates were rare and precious objects in their day, not to mention their value today.
這次參展的一對「蓮塘鴛鴦盤」，淺盤正為池塘，三朵紅蓮獨立並排，一對鴛鴦上下相對，以青花鉤出頭羽，再以褐彩點出羽毛層次，胎質細緻、構圖秀麗，在當時就是稀貴之物，更遑論今日。
