Subject:Wufu Cloisonne bowl, 8 color, Rice bowl
Posted By: Nick Blaze Wed, Jul 20, 2011 IP: 68.42.32.177

Ok dying to figure out wth this is.Researched it left right and sideways.. the Wufu rice bowl is gorgeous, (pictures not showing true color variation) and has been in my family since around 1890 when it was purchased in Beijing. Other than that I cannot identify a time period or the Mark on the base. although the mark in the center points me to the Duang period.?? there are also 4 dragons on the outer edge. could some one point me north please?

me? I have no idea what the heck this is. seems to be enameled, but I don't recognize what the design on the bottom is. the stylized characters on the inside of the bowl seem crudely done, I can't really tell much about the exterior from your photos. seems more like a fantasy piece to me than anything else, but I don't know much at all about ceramics, or enamels, sorry.

Large symbol inside is version of "shou" character for 'longevity'. Five bats pun for luck or blessings. These motifs together often on birthday gift.

Inside and bottom might have been repainted by past owner due to damage.

Your photo of outside too blurry to describe.

Good luck,
Cal
