18. A Pair Of Black-Ground Polychrome Painted Lacquer Circular Dishes
Early 18th Century, Probably Yongzheng Period
The dishes have slightly everted rims and flat bases. One is painted in the centre in green, yellow, silver, red, brown and gilt with two frogs amongst flowering lotuses, all against a black ground; the other is similarly painted with two rabbits beside a flowering osmanthus tree below the full moon.
