Description
each potted with rounded sides elegantly rising from a slightly tapering foot, gently flaring at the rim, softly pencilled on the interior with a central medallion of a ferocious dragon, the exterior similarly decorated with five dragon roundels, the countersunk base inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character reign mark within a double-circle
Provenance
Sotheby's Hong Kong, 28th April 1992, lot 161.
Condition
One of the bowls has a tiny star crack to the base. There is a very small glaze discolouration to the rim.

Apart from some minor surface scratches and burst air bubbles, the overall condition of the pair is quite good.
