These 3 dishes are painted in iron-red and depict "the dragon chasing the pearl". They were used for banquet settings to serve pickled root vegetables. Two have the red wax seal from the minister of antiquities. Where the seal was affixed, can be seen on the third one. Each has a similar marking on the back. One does not have a design around the pearl in the center. They were hand painted which is why they aren't exactly alike. There is some minor roughness on the rim of one and on the bottom rim of all three. I think it's probably something done when made. These are not fine pieces. Rather they are utilitarian in nature.
