A RARE PAIR OF IRON-RED AND GRISAILLE-DECORATED BOWLS
YONGZHENG PERIOD (1723-1735)
Very thinly potted, one bowl is fnely decorated with a butterfy perching on a leafy gourd-vine with
curling tendrils highlighted with delicate iron-red details, and the other with a spreading branch bearing
pomegranates and fowers. Each bowl is decorated on the reverse with poetry from the Tang dynasty, one
celebrating gourds and the other pomegranates, beside indecipherable iron-red seal marks.
