Dish with peony design
Vietnam, Red River delta, possibly Hai Du’ong Province
This impressively scaled serving dish is decorated in cobalt blue on a white slip immersed in a translucent glaze. The confident painting style, characterized by robust brushwork and pooled concentrations of cobalt, has all the hallmarks of a skilled artisan working with a practiced hand. The design of a central peony bloom and a floral meander typifies high quality wares from the Philippines and Indonesia, Vietnam’s strongest markets in this period.
