"Large Polychrome Enameled Ceramic Bowl"

A work of striking visual impact, this bowl rests on a broad flared foot richly decorated with floral bands in green, white, and brown. The wide hemispherical body is distinguished by its extraordinary chromatic and decorative richness: the exterior is adorned with an intricate design of stylized birds among flowering branches, alternating with ornamental cartouches, all rendered in vibrant enamels of blue, ruby red, emerald green, and gold.
The interior reveals a complex star-shaped geometric and floral design, of Persian derivation, with a central octagonal medallion surrounded by fields of blue, black, and gold, interlaced in a refined arabesque lattice. The result is a striking balance between ornamental symmetry and chromatic fantasy, typical of ceramic production influenced by Islamic taste and widespread across Persia, Turkey, and India in the 19th century, with strong appeal to both European and Asian collectors.
This bowl, due to its size and refinement, was intended not for daily use but rather for an ornamental or ceremonial function, a symbol of prestige and wealth. The combination of floral motifs, birds, and arabesques evokes a paradisiacal garden, a recurring metaphor in Oriental art as an image of harmony, prosperity, and eternal beauty.
