This large porcelain dish has a round form with a foliated rim. It has a painted design of coloured flowers and birds in overglaze enamels.Although heavily influenced by the Chinese ceramic tradition, Vietnamese materials and potting styles are unique. Technically not ‘porcelain’, which is translucent and pure white, these stonewares are different in appearance from Chinese and other Southeast Asian ceramics. Vietnamese wares are typically more heavily potted and have an off-white clay body.
