Period:Ming dynasty Production date:1600-1644
Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, underglazed,
Subjects:animal-fighting mammal
Dimensions:Diameter: 16 centimetres Height: 7.80 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain bowl with underglaze blue decoration and a ground-down exterior. This bowl has deep rounded sides and an everted rim and stands on a splayed foot ring. Inside it is decorated in dull shades of cobalt blue with a wolf-like creature, standing on its hind legs with its front paws raised as if about to pounce on a rabbit. The rabbit is running away on all fours with its ears pinned back. Above are dense clouds and below the ground is shown with clumps of vegetation. This and the rim are marked with double lines of blue. The base is glazed and marked with a single blue ring. Unusually there is no glaze on the exterior of the bowl, and grinding marks suggest that the bowl was once fully glazed but that the glaze was removed from the outside at a later date. This would be extremely difficult to do without damaging the bowl. However, the bowl has been broken on the right side and is extensively filled and restuck.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The cobalt blue used and style of painting employed both suggest that this bowl was made in the late Ming era, probably at a ‘min yao’ kiln in the Jingdezhen area.
