Late 18th Century-Early 19th Century style large serving bowl, charger or decorative piece. Carry the matching design of frogspawn with scrolling leaf and five subtle peony flowers. There are two blue rimmed lines that circle each bowl. The bowl is signed, the porcelain has the grey hue and there is crazing on the fronts and the back of the bowls. The porcelain is very thick and heavily made, the colors are stunning. This is a beautiful large porcelain set made in China for export to the West.
The piece is lightly potted with a bluish matte glaze and has a beautiful underglaze blue hand painted pattern of peonies on a frogspawn ground. Peonies are symbolic for wealth and honor; frog spawn for wealth and abundance... so serving your food from this charger bowl must bring good luck! The piece is marked and measures at 15 inches round.
Condition report: is in excellent antique condition. Its only flaw are some hairlines on the back, which do not distract from its beauty - they are clearly visible in the pictures. There are some specks baked into the glaze, see pictures. There is no other damage.
Antique porcelain is never perfect. Everything was handwork and kilns were fired on wood or coal, creating a lot of dust and other particles that could get baked into the porcelain by accident. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the time of production. less
