It has a diameter of 25 centimeters. The central motif of the plate depicts a dragon playing with a pearl, surrounded by auspicious and stylized clouds. Both the inner and outer walls are adorned with two dragons playing with pearls, while the foot is decorated with an upright lotus pattern. The overall structure of the vessel is well-proportioned, with blue and white as the primary colors, accented by vibrant yellow hues. The fine glaze further enhances the brilliance of the yellow color. Similar official kiln wares with comparable characteristics are also preserved in the Jiangxi Provincial Museum. The patterns and composition of this artifact resemble other dragon-themed porcelain from the Qianlong period. What sets it apart is the unique use of yellow glaze as a decorative element rather than as the base color, depicting intricate designs of dragons and clouds. The production of blue and yellow porcelain involves a two-stage firing process, initially firing the blue ground with white floral patterns and subsequently adding yellow color in the white glazed areas, followed by a second firing in the kiln. According to Volume 17 of the "History of the Palace of the Great Qing Dynasty," such blue and yellow dragon-patterned bowls and plates were typically used by concubines within the imperial palace.
