Petite Blue and White Dish

An everyday example of Chinese blue-and-white ceramics, this petite footed dish charms with simple blue brushwork atop a crazed blue-grey underglaze. Bands of blue glaze encircle the lip and frame a loosely brushed chrysanthemum blossom, a symbol of autumn and longevity. Once used for serving food and drink, we love this small dish as a catch-all for jewelry and other small items.
