Although the decor may appear conventional at first glance, the craftsmanship reveals a truly remarkable level of quality. Every element — the clothing, their textures, the faces, the decor itself — is finely worked. This level of execution gives the traditional so-called “Mandarin” style decor an altogether different feel, especially since the bowl is quite large. Such a degree of painting is rare.
A small break into three fragments along the rim. Several hairlines have been professionally cleaned and reinforced, though they remain visible. Small chips along the cracks have been filled.
