Note:
From MMA website: the development of this "type of ceramic [in Vietnam] is often linked to the brief Chinese occupation of the early fifteenth century. The design of peonies in the center of this dish, and the way in which the peonies are painted, reflect an awareness of earlier Chinese traditions."
