Bowl - Porcelain - ''Eight Horses'' motif

From private collection, a very fine blue and white porcelain bowl decorated with “Eight Horses” motif. The bowl is finely potted with smooth and translucent glaze. The exterior is vividly painted in underglaze blue with eight spirited horses roaming among trees and rocks — some galloping, some resting, others turning their heads or neighing. Each figure is rendered with natural movement and lifelike charm, reflecting the painter’s confident brushwork and mastery of composition. The cobalt shows a refined range of tones, from deep, dense blue to pale washes, creating a dynamic and balanced visual depth. The interior depicts a single horse beneath a mountain scene, echoing the theme of the exterior. The rim is applied with a warm brown glaze, adding a subtle contrast and a sense of aged elegance. The base bears a Jiajing mark within double circles. Item will be professionally packed and securely shipped via a trusted courier service.
