A YELLOW-GLAZED BOWL JIAQING SEAL MARK AND PERIOD

the deep rounded sides rising from a short foot to a flared lipped rim, covered overall with a rich egg-yolk yellow glaze darkening to an amber tone at the foot, seal mark in underglaze blue

Christie's Hong Kong, 31st March 1992, lot 744.

There is a small chip on the rim under the glaze. There is a piece of kiln grit on the exterior above the foot and the glaze is crazed overall and thins unevenly at the rim. There is a small burst air bubble halfway down the interior, otherwise the bowl is in good condition.
