Available for acquisition is a rare and authentic Kangxi-period blue and white porcelain dish, dating to the late 17th to early 18th century (circa 1700). This square-form dish is a remarkable example of early Chinese export porcelain produced during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor (1662–1722) of the Qing Dynasty—an era celebrated for its technical innovation and artistic refinement.

Expertly hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue, the design includes:

• A central geometric border enclosing the well

• Exterior panels with stylized floral sprays

• A beautifully dressed brown rim, typical of export wares made for durability in shipping

What truly sets this piece apart is the presence of Anhua decoration—a subtle, incised pattern only visible under transmitted light or when viewed closely at an angle. This “secret” decoration is composed of delicate floral medallions and scrollwork around the inner wall and center of the dish, adding a layer of elegance and rarity. These incised motifs were etched into the porcelain body before glazing and firing, a sophisticated technique reserved for finer wares.

The base is unglazed, with telltale firing marks consistent with 18th-century Jingdezhen kiln production. Measuring approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm) square and 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep, the dish is in good antique condition, with some natural firing imperfections and minor surface marks commensurate with age.
