Message Your covered bowl is decorated in an iron-based sepia pigment with gilt highlights. The motif is essential 'Mandarin', as such genre scenes are commonly called. This bowl seems to show the viewer vignettes of everyday life for the Chinese scholar-bureaucrat and his supportive family. The same form of lidded bowl is found decorated in the rose medallion pattern and palette, suggesting a date of manufacture circa the third quarter of the 19th century. Like rose medallion, this sepia-decorated bowl would have been painted in Canton on porcelain blanks made at Jingdezhen. Best regards, Bill H. Post a Response |
