Chinese late Ming dynasty Zhangzhou (Swatow) porcelain round form covered seal paste box decorated in green and iron-red overglaze enamels against a cream-colored ground with a deer in a central roundel on the lid surrounded by six alternating geometric panels set between a crossed line background. The interior and base are glazed but undecorated. 16th/17th century. 3 3/4” diameter x 2” high. Very good overall condition. There is typical wear to the overglaze enamels and there are two tiny chips at the upper edge of the bottom section. This piece is from the Arizona collection of former German expatriates to Indonesia in the 1970s.
