A RARE COPPER-RED 'THREE FISH' BOWL MARK AND PERIOD OF YONGZHENG

finely potted with rounded sides resting on the rounded base of the bowl, decorated on the exterior in a pale copper-red with three fish with incised detailing, the recessed base inscribed with a six-character mark within a double-circle in underglaze-blue

There is a very faint 1 cm hairline crack from the rim near the tail of one of the fish, but the overall condition is quite good. The red is very strong.
