This is a fabulous antique Chinese Cloisonne Bowl is has a black ground covered all over with a cloud pattern. It also has a total of three colourful decorations of dragons.
The main image in the interior of the bowl shows a five-toed Chinese dragon with a yellow body and blue face with a flaming pearl placed right in the centre. He is shown straight on. Around the outside are two similar undulating confronted yellow dragons which also chase a single flaming pearl.
I have taken lots of images for your inspection. From these, you should be able to easily assess the colours and the condition.
The base is a vivid blue colour and again covered with tiny cloisonne wire clouds pattern - and a Jingtai cloisonne mark in the centre. The mark dates the bowl to the early 20th century - possibly about 1900.
The shallow bowl measures: 7 3/4 inches (20 cm) and the height is just under 2 1/2 inches (6 cm).
It is in excellent condition with no damage. There are no dings or dents, and the interior is in good condition with no nasty scratches or colour losses. It is a very attractive example of a shallow fire bowl - and my asking price for it is certainly a fair one.
The bowl will be sent with Recorded Parcelforce postage in the UK - this will be tracked and insured in transit. This will cost about £10 and applied to your order at the checkout. I have a second bowl and this could be added to the parcel at no extra postage cost.
