The centre of this dish is decorated with a sprig of pomegranate blossom. Encircling the rim are branches of four different fruits: peach, date plum, cherry, and lychee, all applied with blue pigment. The yellow colour was added subsequently, and the dish was fired a second time. This exceptionally rare object was made for the emperor’s court.
