描述
the steep upright sides finely painted on the exterior with pairs of mandarin ducks swimming and flying amidst large orange lotus blooms, below a narrow register of pairs of underglaze-blue dragons in pursuit of 'flaming pearls', the base of the interior similarly decorated with a single pair of ducks on a lotus pond below a band of lança characters encircling the rim, the flat slightly countersunk base inscribed with a six-character reign mark in underglaze blue
來源
Acquired in Hong Kong, late 1980s.
Condition
The mouthrim has been slightly restored to stabilise the two glaze flakes of about 0.5 cm each and possibly to conceal some frittings as well. There is a 0.2 cm iron spot (centred with a burst air bubble) to the exterior on one of the dragons. The bowl is otherwise in quite good condition with most of the enamelling well preserved.
