Description from the seller
Set of 5 small antique Chinese porcelain bowls – Rose Medallion style – Turquoise interior – Decor of peaches and calligraphy – China – Late Qing Dynasty / Republican era
Beautiful set of five small antique Chinese porcelain bowls, featuring an elegant poly-lobed form reminiscent of a flower.
These bowls are distinguished by their magnificent interior glazed in a deep turquoise blue, with nuances slightly varying from piece to piece.
The exterior is decorated with polychrome motifs in the Rose Medallion style, with branches bearing peaches, delicately drawn leaves and Chinese calligraphic inscriptions.
In Chinese tradition, the peach is a symbol of longevity and immortality, which gives these objects a particularly meaningful symbolic dimension.
Four bowls have a light exterior background, while the fifth is distinguished by its yellow background, creating a harmonious contrast within the set.
Under four bowls there are red square marks, sigillographic in style, the exact attribution of which remains to be determined. The fifth bowl has a turquoise background with no visible red mark.
Estimated period: late Qing Dynasty or Republic of China era, probably between the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century (around 1890–1940). Indicative dating based on style, enamels and manufacturing technique, not a formal expert assessment.
Provenance: China.
Material: polychrome glazed porcelain.
Approximate dimensions of each bowl:
Height: 3.7 cm
Length: 9.5 cm
Width: 9.5 cm
Number of pieces: 5.
Condition:
Antique set of five small bowls showing signs of use and wear.
Defects to note:
One bowl shows a glaze loss.
A second bowl shows two small chips.
A third bowl shows a small chip.
The other two bowls show no major identifiable defect.
A few small stains, firing irregularities and signs of wear are also visible.
Despite these flaws, the set retains a lovely decorative appearance, with its magnificent turquoise interiors and polychrome decorations.
Please carefully examine the photographs, including close-ups of the flaws, which are an integral part of the description.
These features are visible in the detailed photographs, which are part of the description.
A charming set of ancient Chinese porcelains, particularly interesting for collectors of Asian ceramics and traditional decorative objects.
