A vibrant and decorative porcelain footed bowl, hand-painted in the Chinoiserie taste. The exterior features richly detailed scenes of figures in traditional dress, pagodas, and stylised floral sprays, framed with scrolling borders in iron-red, green, cobalt, and gilt accents. The interior continues the decoration with a central scene of two figures beneath a willow tree, enclosed by a border of foliate sprays and geometric motifs.
 
The bowl sits on a spreading foot, itself decorated with painted floral reserves, enhancing the sense of balance and refinement. A striking piece that combines both utility and display, characteristic of the enduring European fascination with Orientalist design.
