ITEM : 4524
DATE : Wanli 1580-1600
COST : £650
DESCRIPTION :
This rare Bowl is of a type which were exported to Indonesia,The setting out of the
roundels or Medallions is perfection in itself ,The almost cartoon "puppy like" baby dragons " Chi" or "Chilong" are delightful & although a number of wares ie.Vases
Dishes etc are known to exsist with this type of decoration I have yet to find a single example with "chi" drawn in quite the same manner .
Mark to base : "Fu" or good fortune
Condition: Hairline through the base.
