18th century Kangxi saucer dish, having rounded sides rising from a recessed center marked with a slight ridge, supported on a tapered undercut foot and a convex base, masterfully applied evenly overall with a quintessential tone of deep sacrificial-red glaze suffused with tiny darker specks, pooling to a dark crimson tone around the ridge on the interior and thinning to white towards the rim and the foot, becoming a transparent glaze slightly tinged with green just above the foot ring, the white base inscribed with a six-character reign mark of Xuande within a double ring, having original wood stand, 7 3/4" h. Chips on the rim. Provenance: Private collection of an important estate, Newport, Rhode Island.
