This is a standard official plate. With the date mark of 'Da Ming Hong Zhi Nian Zhi', meaning 'made in the reign period of Hongzhi in the Ming dynasty', on the base in regular script and in blue-and-white double rings, this piece of work can be regarded as the standard ware of this period. The design of the pattern in the plate was also popular among the official wares of the Hongzhi period. But it was quite uncommon that the glaze of the floral pattern on the ground-coated body was removed and was filled and glazed with brown glaze, making it a rare treasure.
