 Summary from V&A Museum,.
by: Fikri Al Amoudi

After 1300, Chinese potters at Jingdezhen began to decorate the local white porcelain in cobalt blue. They perfected the painting technique, so that the blue did not run during firing. Smaller items have Chinese shapes and may have been made for the home market. But large dishes such as this one were made for export back to the Middle East, where the cobalt for the blue had come from.
Thanks,Peter,.

many rusting spot/flake on surface of cobald blue caused by manganese composition in cobald blue,.
