Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Bowls of this type were not meant to be used for eating from but are ornamental, probably for containing water or for burning incense. Other bowls of this type are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Nezu Museum of Art, Tokyo, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.Certain characteristics of this bowl indicate that it is a product of the late Ming era. Late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century turquoise glaze appears to have been applied thickly and to have a glossy appearance which earlier turquoise enamels lack. Shanxi colours tend to be thinner and more delicate than those applied in Jingdezhen, often flaking off completely.Compare with BM Franks.1309.
