清嘉慶 醬釉盤 《大清嘉慶年製》款

the shallow rounded sides supported on a short tapered foot, the interior faintly impressed with a slightly recessed ring in the centre, applied overall with a rich persimmon-coloured glaze accented by a slight iridescence, save for the base left white and inscribed with a six-character seal mark in underglaze blue

There is a 1 cm. section of the rim where the glaze has thinned revealing a paler section. There are a few minor specks of kiln grit on the interior and exterior beneath the glaze, a few minor scratches and an oxidized sheen on the surface. The base bears a few dirty glaze bubbles, but overall the dish is in good condition. The actual colour is quite close to the catalogue illustration.
