A fine and unusual reticulated plate, the well of the dish decorated with floral sprays of peony and chrysanthemum blossoms with a butterfly hovering above. In the shallow cavetto a green band of stylized chrysanthemum rosettes form a frame for the central motif. The exterior rim is made up of interlocking rings painted in a faux marbleized finish. The reverse is undecorated and the glaze discolored in areas. This interlocking ring plate design was first seen on Ming blue and white wares in the 16th century.
