<p><b>A fine Chinese blue and white bowl, measuring 7 X 2 3/4 ins., dating to the 17th century. </b>The bowl is decorated with underglaze blue that has a distinctly purple color. Flowers are painted on the cavetto and center; landscape scenes are painted on the exterior. The bowl has a typical orange peel feel and the footrim shows a orange clay. The rim shows <i>mushikui</i>, or a moth-eaten appearance. This is typical of ko-sometsuke, or old Chinese blue and white wares shipped to Japan as well as better quality Chinese domestic wares made in the Ming Tiangi period (1621-27). There is one old 1/4 in. rim chip. This is a recent acquisition from the estate of Helen Tukey, auctioned by Freeman’s of Philadelphia in a catalogued sale. The bowl was vetted by the Freeman’s staff for this sale. It is in fine and original condition. |
