Blue And White Character Dish

This blue and white character dish is made in Jingdezhen, China, the porcelain center of the world.

The center medallion shows the Sanskrit character for "Om" (sacred syllable), and two tiers of a stylized version of the same character decorate the cavetto. The glazed base shows a simple character which is likely to be the studio name. Although there is one obvious hairline on it, this blue and white dish of my collection is very rare and impossible to find elsewhere.

Diameter : 15.5cm.
