AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique, hand-painted blue-and-white ceramic bowl, specifically known as a Zhangzhou provincial export bowl (historically often referred to as Swatow ware) from China.
These bowls were produced during the late Ming Dynasty (16th to early 17th century).
Such vessels were fired in large quantities in the folk kilns of Fujian province and exported along the maritime Silk Road to Southeast Asia.
Features of this object:
The "Wheel" or "Sun" motif: Centered on the outer wall you see a characteristic circular symbol with dots or rays around it, flanked by swift brushstrokes that depict abstract floral scrolls. This loose, expressive painting style with cobalt blue under the glaze is the hallmark of Swatow ceramics.
Rustic finish: In contrast to the refined imperial porcelain from Jingdezhen, provincial Swatow ware is rougher and thickerly potted.
The glaze often has a light gray-blue or creamy-white tint and shows natural imperfections, kiln specks, and craquelé.
The Foot Ring: The underside of these bowls is usually rough and unformed, often with oven sand residue baked onto the foot ring during firing.
Marked with a black marker code on the bottom, for find registration or possible museum cataloging

Seller's Story
Passion for Art, Antiques, and Collectibles. Always enthusiastically searching for interesting and beautiful Collectibles in Antiques, Art, Curiosities, Design & Vintage at markets, auctions, and estate sales.
I am fascinated by the story and history behind the various objects and their makers. The aim is to give these beautiful objects a new place among enthusiasts for their collection or to enhance their interior.
Started this dream as a sole proprietorship in 2018.
And of course, there is the love for the French Bulldog: Pip and especially successor Chouffe. That's why they are included again in my logo.
