Lot description
elegantly potted with flaring sides and an angular profile, exquisitely painted with stalks of bamboo, millet and blossoming flowers emerging from pierced rocks, the lively scene detailed with butterflies, a cicada and a beetle fluttering and hovering amid the foliage, forming a frieze encircling the exterior above two raised bow-strings, the angular silhouette accentuated by a lush undulating floral band enclosing six large blooms alternately painted in yellow and iron-red enamels and extending over the angled base, the shallow domed cover similarly decorated and surmounted by a recticulated knop in the form of an archaistic bird, inscribed with a six-character regin mark on the underside of the cover and within a double circle on the interior of the bowl cover 19.5 cm; bowl 17.7 cm
