A circa 1895 Wo Sing Lun bowl [below] decorated with 6 defined panels within arabesque-shaped frames, each
            with  a  repouussé  work  floral  and  foliate  motif  against  a  matt  plain  ground.  Atop  the  arabesque  panels  is  a
            basket-weave  texture  that  is  capped  by  a  double  fluted  rim.  The  combined  floral  themes  of  peony,  bamboo,
            prunus, chrysanthemum, orchid and birds convey an overall symbolic message of property and happiness.
