Description
each with curved sides supported on a short foot rising to a slightly everted rim, the exterior painted with bright washes of cobalt blue within pencilled outlines, depicting a pair of ferocious five-clawed dragons chasing 'flaming pearls' amongst clouds and flames, all above rocks and waves, the countersunk base inscribed with a six-character reign mark in underglaze blue
Condition
Apart from a few stained air bubbles to the interior of one bowl, and a few pin pricks on the rim of the other, the overall condition of the pair is very good.
