PROVENANCE
A Distinguished Private Collection, Vancouver


The sturdily-potted vessel with tapering sides, beaded edge and flat base, the exterior decorated with a continuous scene of brightly enamelled fish amongst aquatic plants. The slightly raised firing burst to the mouth rim is deliberately painted into a playful snail. The interior is covered in a clear glaze while the base remains a brown biscuit.

Fish bowls of this large size and design are extremely rare. The present bowl features an endearing scene of multi-coloured fish turning and twisting past various aquatic plants, thus showcasing the skills of the Qing Dynasty designer. Ink paintings of swimming fish appeared during the Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279) and promoted the Daoist sentiment of freedom - these underwater animals were free from restraints and can pursue a carefree existence.
