[Qing Dynasty 1644 - 1911]. Size: Upper Diametre: 14.7 cm: Diameter to Foot: 6 cm: Height: 6.5 cm: Weight: 418 grams. Here we have a delightful and extremely fine antique late Qing Dynasty porcelain bowl featuring exquisite and detailed hand-decoration to all surfaces of the ceramic: The colours are rich and vibrant and typical of the era for export to the hungry European market: The base of the bowl features full makers marks and confirms the suggested antique date of manufacture.
