The interior of the bowl, enamelled and gilded with three sprigs of flowering plants, around a roundel, containing a flowering peony, in underglaze blue, and iron red enamel.
As you will notice from the images, the bowl is of slightly irregular form, as a result of the firing.

Diameter – 20.5 cm, 8 1/8”.
Height – 10 cm, 3 7/8”.
Condition – Firing fault to the rim, kintsugi repair to a small chip on the inside of the footrim. Please see images for detail. Slight wear to the enamels and glaze, commensurate with the age of the bowl.
