About the piece: The bowl is an export piece for the West, decoration thought to represent popular American perceptions of Chinese culture, likely of Cantonese origin. Approximately a century later, the bowl was styled into a jardiniere form. Apparently the piece was selected due its impressive turn of the century appearance, originally served as an opulent interior statement to complement the historic neoclassical landmark building designed by Napoleon LeBrun and Sons in 1909. Simply put, resplendent. less
