Measures 6-1/8" in diameter and approx. 2.5" in height. Conditions of note:Bowl has a Handwritten mark on the inside bottomThere are 2 hairlines on the lip (see pictures)There is crazing throughout the glaze inside and outSome rough spots along the foot. Bowl is handmade, and old. It is not perfect.There is a gray paint of some kind (looks like acrylic?) on some spots on the outside of the bowl and some old bits of newspaper written in chinese. These will scrape off, but as noted ...below, I do not want to "scrub" bowl for fear of damaging it since I honestly do not know what the safe way to clean these bowls would be.
Design on the bowl is cobalt. I do not know the provenance of this bowl other than it is Qing or earlier. This bowl is from a large estate lot of similar bowls. They are allcovered in dirt as though they were dug from the ground at some point and notcleaned. I clean them with water to remove as much soil as possible beforeshipping but there will be dirty areas as I do not want to use any cleaners onthem that may damage the bowl. These are very old and I do not want to “scrub”them clean. This is an estate item and is therefore sold as is. Please view all photos before purchasing.
