Porcelain serving bowl with underglaze blue decoration. This deep serving bowl has rounded sides which incline slightly inwards at the rim and stands on a spreading foot ring. It is painted inside and out with floral designs in uneven pale grey-blue underglaze cobalt pigment. Inside in the centre is a chrysanthemum flower with leaves and buds and painted in the cavetto is a peony scroll with large blooms viewed from different angles. Outside a chrysanthemum scroll is depicted and there are key-fret borders on the inner and outer rim and around the foot ring. The base is unglazed. The bowl is repaired, Far-Eastern-style, with gold leaf and lacquer, making a virtue of the flaw.

Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Dozens of bowls of this type with minor variations in the arrangement of the floral motifs have been excavated in recent years from Hongwu contexts, including one found in 1994 at Dongmentou, Zhushan, Jingdezhen, in a Hongwu stratum. Bowls of this sort were also made successfully with underglaze red decoration, such as the bowl on long-term loan to the BritishMuseum from the Hon. Kate Trevelyan.
