A dish shaped with flower lobes and decorated with flowers. It is marked by two rings with a flower inside, which indicates an early period Kangxi origin. Size: 3.5 x 16 x 8 cm. Notes: During the early period of Kangxi's reign, the conditions in China were still unsettled and making imperial wares with reign marks were restricted in many ways. During this time, a number of other marks came into use, such as the Lingzhi fungus and Artemisia Leaf, as well as flowers. Property of a French collector from 1918, thence by descent.
