An excellent blue and white bowl with blooms and petals on the exterior, and interior. The way which the petals bloom gives it a life-like feeling. At the back is a four character mark of Chenghua Emperor, indicating that this piece was made during that time period. However, this bowl is likely to have been a high skilled imitation made during Kangxi Emperor's reign. Size: 15.3cm x 7.9cm. Property of a private Japanese collector from 1940s, thence by descent.
