Note 210 — Chapter V · WAN LI (1573–1619) AND OTHER REIGNS
Reading edition
Other saucers of this kind have a decoration of radiating floral sprays, and there are bowls of a familiar type with small sprays engraved and filled in with coloured glazes in a ground of green or aubergine purple. Some of these have a rough biscuit suggesting the late Ming period; others of finer finish apparently belong to the K’ang Hsi period. They often have indistinct seal marks, known as “shop marks,” in blue.
