A CHINESE PORCELAIN KINRANDE BOWL, JIAJING/ WANLI PERIOD
round-sided with a small foot ring, the overglaze ‘kinrande’ decoration on a white ground has been lost through time, but the shadow of this decoration is still evident due to the enamels having left an impression in the white glaze, the inside having an underglaze blue chrysanthemum plant within a double circle and a diaper band under the rim, the base has an underglaze blue four character ‘wan fu you tong’ mark. 12cm diameter
The original exterior decoration would most likely have been four overglaze red enamel medallions with beaded jewel strings, tassels and flower heads. A good example of this style of decoration can be found on a bowl in the Sir Percival David collection, currently in the British Museum, dated to the Jiajing period (1522 - 1566), reference PDF.762.
This mark is translated in ‘Marks On Chinese Ceramics’, Gerald Davison, page 344, no. 2050, as being “May infinite good fortune surround you”
Note: For comparison, see a bowl sold by Christie’s, 19 September 2006, lot 262; a bowl in the Metropolitan Museum, collection accession number 79.2.112; and a bowl in the British Museum collection reference Franks.482.+
