The plate is profusely decorated with reliefs of dragons with sinuous bodies, fierce expressions and sharp claws chasing flaming pearls among ruyi clouds. At the base is an incised seal with six characters: ‘大清乾隆年制’. A silky patina and glassy sheen surround the set, which rests on a custom-carved wooden base with cloud and hollow motifs. Qing dynasty (1644-1912).
