This very large and substantial bowl or basin is signed by and unknown artist and originates from China, dating to approximately 1920 and done in the period Chinese Export style. The entire bowl is very ornately hand-painted in vibrant colors in the Famille Rose pattern. The inside and outside of the bowl is done in small vignettes depicting people, birds and butterflies which are bordered by very elaborate hand-painted bands of leaves and flowers.
