Celadon-glazed porcelain bowl, Qing dynasty

A porcelain bowl with an open rim and a rounded body that sits on a circular base. The exterior has a single decorative border of flowers or peonies in relief, the leaves and branches of which intertwine to form a kind of net. It is surrounded by a celadon-coloured cover.

In the centre of the base is a seal within a double square that reads '致远堂制' (Zhiyuantang Zhi) in underglaze blue. This seal is documented from the Qianlong period.

Diameter: 22.50 cm; Height: 9 cm; Base diameter: 10 cm
