You are bidding on a Very Lovely ANTIQUE CHINESE HAND PAINTED Bowl and Hand Carved Wooden Pedestal. I would guess late 1900's - early 1900's. It is beautifully multi-colored with what look like enamel paints. Since Orientalia is not my field of expertise, I'm not sure what this type of ware is called. I thought possibly Imari or Famille Rose, but not 100% sure. Hopefully someone out t can help me out. It has a Lovely Shell Shape. You can tell that it rests on the original wooden base, because the base is exactly the same shape, and appears to be hand carved, and custom made to fit this bowl. When you look at the painted design of this bowl, it reminds me of an OWL or a HAWK - with the face on the front and the tail on the backside. I'm describing this in layman's terms, because as previously mentioned, this is not my field of expertise. Bowl measures almost 9" Long X 5" wide X almost 2 3/4" High. It does have a little damage - T is a chip on the rim, the size of a pea, with a 1 1/2" Hairline coming down from the chip. I have tried to show you this in my PICS, so, please see. T is a bit of light staining inside the bowl near the rim, almost as if someone used this as a planter. You can also view this in my PICS. Otherwise, it looks pretty good, especially given the age. This looks pretty old to me. The wooden base also has a small chip on one end, which I have also shown. The wood has a nice old patina, and has lightened a bit from age. Wood Base is lightly stamped CHINA on the bottom. The Bowl has some red Oriental markings, which I have taken a close-up PIC of. A VERY NICE OLD PIECE OF ORIENTALIA. This is a NO Reserve Auction. I accept Pay Pal, MO, or Check (which has a 12 day hold). US Buyer to pay S/H of $12.00. Insurance is Extra, and is Required. Rate will depend on the final auction price, so, PLEASE WAIT FOR MY INVOICE ON THIS ITEM!! NY State Residents to include 8.75% Sales Tax. Thanks and Good Luck!!
