Bowl and cover. Hard-paste porcelain painted in a bright, clear enamel palette of iron-red, green, yellow, blue, turquoise and aubergine with details in black enhanced with gilding. The circular bowl is decorated on the exterior with four upright lotus-petal shaped panels enclosing flowering sprays growing from rockwork, reserved against a stippled green ground; there is a border of iron-red scrolls round the base and a band of alternating green and yellow trellis-diaper and wan and cash scroll reserved with four iron-red fruit vignettes round the rim, sprouting two pale yellow loop handles which are moulded with animal heads. The cover has a matching floral panel decoration radiating from the knop on a stippled pale turquoise ground strewn with flowerheads; there is a stippled green-ground band of flowerheads reserved with four alternating leaf and 'pearl' vignettes round the rim.
