Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, painted, underglazed,
Subjects:bird lotus
Dimensions:Diameter: 13 centimetres Height: 7 centimetres
Description:
Porcelain bowl with underglaze blue and overglaze green enamel decoration. This bowl has rounded sides and a straight foot. It is badly cracked and chipped at the rim and foot. It is underglazed in blue with a crane wading in a lotus pool in a medallion inside and with cranes alternately flying or wading in lotus ponds outside. The inner rim is painted with a blue cross-hatch border. Green overglaze enamel has been poorly applied to details of the decoration and outlines of other lotus flower motifs may be seen when the bowl is tilted in the light, but these designs have lost their original enamel colours.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Such designs of flying and wading birds may also be found as rim border designs for mid sixteenth-century ‘kraak’ wares. An heirloom bowl from Java with a fuller more sophisticated version of this decorative scheme is dated by an inscription on the base: ‘Jiajing bingyin nian zhi’ [Made in the bingyin year (AD 1566-7) of the Jiajing reign]. It is likely that the present bowl postdates that.
