Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern: Dragons and Snakes blue with colour

A dramatic design printed in blue with over-glaze red clobbering of the sky in the border, which has been done carefully to allow the buildings to show blue and the trees and foliage to show through in a ghostly black. The rim is painted brown. Absolutely magnificent.
No backstamp as is usual with this rare design, except for 14 impressed.
There are some utensils marks and light wear and a few minor glaze blemishes have taken up a spot of stain, but all of little consequence.
Overall this platter is in excellent condition.
An arcaded plate in this design was included in the 1998 True Blue exhibition Case 2/6 and it also featured in the Friends of Blue Bulletin 117 October 2002.
