Qing Dynasty 19Th Century Butterfly & Flower Design Rice Bowl This wonderfully polychromed porcelain was most likely made in southern China. Beautifully shaped, this colorful Porcelain Bowl is a wonderful example of Southern Ware with an artistic Butterfly and Floral Pattern, Scalloped Edge, and Fluted Rim. Dating from around 1850, the high foot rim is also decorated with a lovely repetitive wave design. It shows wear and scratches from use and iridescence from age, as a piece this old should. The bottom does have a few very tight, old, hairlines that have been sealed with Low Viscosity Paleo Bond, but even the penetrant would not go through the hairlines. The bowl is 6" across and 2-1/8" high. This beautiful example of Qing Dynasty artistry came to us in the 1980's on Maui from an old Chinese couple that was moving back home to China and did not want to take their personal treasures with them. This bowl has been authenticated by Fred Gumbart. Mr. Fred Gumbart is the owner/appraiser of Arizona Galleries ).
