AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
UV Checked - Good condition
Large polychrome porcelain bowl decorated with the Eight Immortals and dragons
China, Nanjing, late 19th century
Glazed porcelain, polychrome enamels over glaze
H. 9 cm – Ø 27 cm
Bowl with flared form and brown lip, decorated on the exterior wall with two sinuous dragons moving among stylized clouds and flames in enamels of green, yellow, iron red and aubergine.
The interior shows, on a crackled background, the Taoist Eight Immortals (Ba Xian) arranged in a circle around Budai, the laughing monk, seated at the center in front of a stylized landscape. Each Immortal is depicted holding his distinctive attribute—flute, fan, basket of flowers, or gourd—in a lively and colorful composition.
This type of porcelain, produced in the Nanjing kilns at the end of the Qing dynasty, is characterized by its crackled glaze, black-edged outlines, and bright translucent enamels, reflecting a popular production influenced by the Kangxi period wucai (famille verte) patterns.
Condition: Very good condition.
Provenance: Kanaka The Collection
