A RARE CHINESE POWDER BLUE GROUND AND UNDERGLAZE COPPER-RED DISH KANGXI 1662-1722 Decorated with a figure of a travelling warrior monk carrying a large bundle, a fly whisk and a long stick on his back, all reserved against a powder blue ground, with sprays of bamboo and a flower mark in a double circle to the reverse, 26cm. Cf. C J A Jörg, Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, pp.127-128, no.132 for a dish of an identical design. The plate probably depicts Monk Hua, a character from Shuihu zhuan, a popular tale of rogues and robbers.
