Polychrome chinoiserie bowl. Delft, 1710-1730
This polychrome bowl stands on a high foot and has three extra feet. The two angular handles are vertical, the spreading upper rim is profiled. The bowl is painted with four chinoiserie landscapes, alternated with trellis diaper work and flowers. Along the outside of the spreading rim a continuous scroll is applied, the inner side is decorated with alternate red-outlined blue and red arched panels. The handles and feet are painted with green and red lines.

Condition is very good considering age: small chips at rim, some faint hairline cracks at base. Very nice glossy glaze.
