Pair of dishes in the shape of chrysanthemums

Each of these dishes is molded in the shape of a chrysanthemum flower with 44 petals. Such dishes are usually found in the previous Yongzheng reign (1723–35), where they were made in a range of at least 12 different colors. The glaze of these plates imitates the classic Longquan celadon of the Song dynasty (12th century).
