清十八世紀 德化窰白釉蓮式盌

the deep rounded sides naturalistically modelled in the form of a lotus leaf, elegantly rising to a rim with furled edges, the interior and exterior lightly incised with veins, applied to the exterior with sprigs of flowering and budding lotus, leaves and arrowheads rising above the lobed rim, covered overall in a creamy white glaze

There is a small chip and scattered nicks to the rim, as well as tiny chips to the lotus flower heads. There is a section on one lotus flower on the side of the bowl, which is visibly inconsistent in colour with the rest and may possibly be restored.
