Description

Chinese Dark Pink Sgraffito Porcelain Bowl with Dragon Motif - 4.5" Diameter
Republic Period,
Marked "Jiang Xi Hu Sen Yuan Chu Pin" on the reverse.
This deep pink porcelain bowl is a stunning example of the Sgraffito or Graivata style (https://gotheborg.com/glossary/graviata.shtml), in which a pattern is etched through a slip or a glaze while it is still wet to make use of the color of the layer below as the color of the lines in the etched decoration.
The intricate pattern shows two Chinese dragons encircling one another, each chasing a flaming pearl in a sea of clouds.
This plate is beautiful condition for its age. There are three faint hairlines (last two pictures), which are only visible from inside of the bowl.
There is also some small chipping on the rim of the bowl's foot (see 3rd-to-last photo for details).
We will gladly combine shipping for multiple lots.
