Among white and white-and-blue porcelain made at along the end of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) by privately owned kilns in southern China, those with designs in red, blue, and green overglaze enamels are called gosu akae in Japan. Gosu akae plates have survived to the present in large numbers, particularly those with qilin---Chinese mythical animals resembling deer---in the center, a typical design of gosu akae, as in the case of this piece. Recent archeological excavations have revealed that kilns in Fujian Province were one of the main production centers for gosu akae.
