About this work

The elegant floral design on the outside of this bowl features peonies and lotus blooms painted in green, red, and yellow enamels. The enamel has flaked off in several places, indicating that the bowl was once used and was not simply decorative. The scalloped rim follows the pattern of twelve lotus petals on the inside of the vessel.
