About this piece
Two figures under a willow, painted softly in a porcelain bowl.
This vessel was made in porcelain in China in the 20th century and depicts outdoor pleasures. Porcelain bowls painted with garden and landscape scenes are commonly used as planters or fish bowls, and the scenes often celebrate leisure. A boy in blue sits near an older figure beneath a willow, with rocks and grasses painted in soft green and brown. The white glaze is clean and glossy, and the rim rolls outward in a smooth lip.
About eight inches tall and eleven wide. A tidy picnic in porcelain.
