Re: Identify porcelain bowl

In my opinion, your "wucai" (five color) bowl probably is a late Qing or Republic product, based on styling of facial features for the two figures in the cavetto. They appear to be the "He-He Er Xian" (ε’ŒεˆδΊŒδ»™), two Daoist immortals also known as the "Ho Ho Twins". The other figures amidst clouds on the exterior wall are the "Eight Immortals" of Daoism and appear from the limited view you've shown of them to be painted more in a late Ming to Kangxi style. The foot rim also seems to have some signs of age, but looks can be deceiving, and the perfect glaze within the foot is more in keeping with a late Qing-Republic date than the Late Ming-early Qing era in my view.

Best regards,

Bill H.
