Yue stoneware covered dish with lotus pattern, Southern Dynasties period, China, 6th century. A Yue covered dish, probably for cosmetics. The cover is moulded in relief as lotus petals with a knob in the shape of a small lotus pod. The bottom section has a solid base without footrim and is also carved in the shape of an open lotus flower with a shallow tray in the centre. The whole dish is covered with a thick, transparent, glassy, crackled, yellowish green glaze typical of the period and its southern provenance.
