The centre design combined with lightly scalloped rim and egg-shaped panels in low relief must have been very popular at the begin of the eighteenth century. Dishes with this shape, size and design decorated in Chinese Imari have derived from this earlier (Kangxi) example decorated in 'Red & Gold' / 'Rouge-de-fer' with iron-red and gold on the glaze.
