Description
Description part summary
A good sized Shufu bowl with gently rounded sides, slightly out-turned at the rim. The unglazed base is solid with a slight insert. The interior has moulded decoration of two birds (peacocks/geese/pheasants?), male and female, amid peony scrolls below a key fret border. The central medallion has a single multi-petalled flower, one largish leaf with 'Qing' character. The leaves of the peony scroll are unusually broad with prominent veins in relief.

Production notes
The type and shape of leaf in the floral scrolls is typical of that on the Hongwu underglaze red pieces and this bowl can therefore confidently be dated to that period.
