Materials:porcelain
Technique:glazed, painted, underglazed,
Subjects:animal bird
Dimensions:Diameter: 28 centimetres Height: 12.50 centimetres
Description:
Large porcelain bowl with overglaze red, green and yellow enamels. This large bowl has rounded sides, an everted rim and a tapering foot with ground-down edge. In the firing it sank in the centre and the cracks on the base, inside and walls were then filled with green overglaze enamels. All designs are outlined in red. Inside in a central roundel are five flowers connected by scrolling foliage reserved in white with red enamel details on a green enamel ground. Encircling this is a band of stylized lappets and in the cavetto four yellow enamel lions chasing each other over a peony-scroll ground. The inner rim and foot have a diaper border. Outside between a border of cash and lappets is a waterscape of cranes, mandarin ducks and unidentified yellow birds, standing by, swimming in and flying over a lotus pond. The base is marked with a spurious six-character Xuande reign mark in underglaze blue.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Supporting the dating of this bowl to the Jiajing era is a Jiajing-marked dish decorated in the same palette with similar depictions of cranes in a central lotus pond in the Tokyo National Museum. Another bowl of similar dimensions and palette but with figural decoration has been in the Lushan Museum, China, since 1930. It is particularly noteworthy as it has a similar Xuande mark on the base with flaws to the glaze and is also broken and was formerly repaired with rivets.
