Circular charger or large dish standing on a foot ring, painted in overglaze famille verte enamels with an iron brown wash on the edge rim; band of diaperwork with four reserve panels on the the rim; a band of spearhead motifs at the upper edge of the well; and a band of diaperwork with three floral medallions framing a central medallion with a Chinese landscape scene in the center of the well. On the underside of the rim are two floral sprays.
A similar charger in the collection of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum has a history of having belonged to Joseph Brown (1733-1785), and while it likely belonged to someone from an earlier generation, it was most likely in Providence, Rhode Island, in the early eighteenth century (RISD Museum 09.332). A piece with similar decoration descended in the family of Jacob Leisler (d. 1691) of New York, New York, is illustrated in Mudge, Chinese Export Porcelain in North America (1986), 114-115.Collection
