"Qianlong minyao seal mark in underglaze blue on base, probably of the period\r\n1736-1795\r\n\r\n&lt;p&gt;The decoration is executed entirely in overglaze blue enamel depicting various personal seal marks (chops). The enamel is thickly applied and well-painted. The border is encircled by a fretwork design in the same thick, blue enamel. The area immediately surrounding the enamel decorations exhibits a halo effect when carefully viewed at an angle to the light\u2014a detail often noted on 18th century porcelains with this type of blue enamel. The rare design of seal marks relates to items made for scholars\u2019 use and this dish was possibly intended to be a brush washer for use in an artist\u2019s studio. The minyao mark, not written to imperial specifications, indicates this item was not produced by imperial command; however, the porcelain paste is consistent with 18th century Qianlong material. Good condition, no damages or repairs. \r\n\r\n&lt;p&gt;Height: 1 1/8 in.; Diameter: 6 1/8 in.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
