A FINE COPPER-RED GLAZED DISH SEAL MARK AND PERIOD OF QIANLONG

the shallow sides elegantly flaring from a short tapered foot to a slightly everted rim, covered overall with a rich copper-red glaze suffused with tiny bubbles and thinning to white at the rim, the slightly domed base glazed white and inscribed with the six-character seal mark in underglaze blue

There is a little light wear and light scratches to the surface of the glaze on the interior, a pin-prick air bubble on the base, but overall the dish is in very good condition. The actual colour is quite close to the catalogue illustration.
