注脚:宋至明 黑素漆盤With so little in the way of decoration to enable a specific dating of this lovely delicate tray, a wide dating parameter seems appropriate here. Whilst the extremely light weight, plain surfaces and delicate construction suggest a possible Song or Yuan production date, the overall profile might also suggest a Ming date of manufacture. For a square tray of smaller size (7 inches across) dated to the Song-Yuan dynasty, see Christie's, Hong Kong, 27 November 2013, lot 3554, where it is compared to another in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, included in the exhibition, China at the Inception of the Second Millennium: Art and Culture of the Sung Dynasty, 960-1279, Taipei, 2000, p. 165, no. III-19.
