This bowl is crafted in blue and white porcelain, featuring an intricate hand-painted design. The interior is decorated with a central geometric pattern composed of interlocking circles, enclosed by a band of floral motifs. The inner wall of the bowl displays detailed botanical elements, including stylized blossoms and scrolling foliage. The wide rim is adorned with a combination of crosshatching and floral decorations, creating a layered effect that emphasizes the depth of the design.
The exterior of the bowl is left largely undecorated, apart from a single calligraphic brushstroke in underglaze blue. The foot is unglazed, revealing the fine porcelain body. The bowl’s form is slightly flared at the rim, transitioning smoothly into the deep well. A small notch is present along the footrim, possibly a kiln flaw or an old chip.
This bowl reflects the aesthetic traditions of Chinese blue and white porcelain, with its precise brushwork and balanced composition. The floral and geometric elements align with decorative trends seen in Ming and Qing dynasty ceramics, though specific attribution would depend on further stylistic and material analysis. The controlled cobalt blue tones and glaze application suggest careful production techniques associated with established kilns.
