A striking gilt porcelain bowl decorated with colorful hand-painted birds, butterflies, and foliage. The oval form is framed with ornate gilt metal mounts, twin scrolled handles, and a pierced base, giving it a refined and elegant presentation.
The interior features a detailed central pheasant surrounded by flora and insects, with a soft crackle glaze that enhances its vintage charm.
The underside bears a red stamp and is marked “Not for food purpose – for decorative use only.”
Dimensions: approximately 8 in long, 5 in wide, and 2.25 in high.
Condition: Very good vintage condition with expected age wear. The porcelain shows natural glaze crackling consistent with age, while the hand-painted decoration remains vibrant. The gilt metal mounts display a lovely aged patina.
Collectibility & Use: This piece is both decorative and collectible, ideal for display on a sideboard, console, or in a cabinet of curiosities. Its hand-painted birds and gilt accents make it a standout display piece.
