Imari-Style Large Bowl - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

## Description

A generously proportioned porcelain bowl, beautifully decorated in the classic Imari palette of rich iron-red, vivid cobalt blue, and delicate gilding against a crisp white ground. The exterior is lavishly painted with blooming peonies, pomegranates and winding foliage — the blossoms fully opened and fruit forms bursting with abundance — all outlined and accented with fine gilt details that catch the light. A double blue line neatly trims the rim above a thin gilded band; the foot ring is finished with concentric blue lines. A bold, colourful and highly decorative piece in traditional export taste.

**Dimensions:**

- Rim diameter: approx. **20 cm**

## Condition

- A visible hairline crack extending from the rim downward;
- Small surface nicks and glaze chips ("flying skin") along the rim;
- Distinct chips/knocks to the rim edge;
- Enamels and gilding remain largely bright and intact; decoration is clear and vibrant;
- Sold in honest antique condition with all wear fully disclosed — a charming display piece priced accordingly.
