Genuine antique Chinese hand painted blue & white bowl. 

Made in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). 

The bowl is hand painted with floral design on the outside. The design is painted under the glaze. 

The inside of the bowl is glazed leaving the bottom unglaze. Looks like there waw glaze in the middle of the bottom that had been worn off. 

Beautiful old porcelain signs on the glaze and on the bottom. 

The bowl has all the signs of a Ming bowl.  

There is one large hairline leading to a small chip on the rim. A hairline on the other side of the bowl and some natural kiln flaws. 

This to me, is a beautiful and organic bowl. It is not imperial ware, but it is honest and real old.  

It is also good for new porcelain collectors to have an example of a genuine Ming bowl for future reference. 

Please refer to photographs for overall condition.

As in all antiques it is inevitably that some imperfections are hard to detect. The photographs form part of the description. 

The battery is there for size comparison only. It has nothing to do with the item.  

I am happy to combine postage. Please let me know you will continue to bid for other items, and I will combine postage for you and give you the most favourable rate. Combining postage does have risks of breakage. 

'Most of my collection is one of a kind. I bought the items because I liked it for myself. They were never intended to be resold. Each item has a story and when possible, I hand carried them in my luggage from all over the world to bring back to Australia. Some of the items have travelled a long way away and some of the items has been with me for more than 50 years. 

I am now retired and need to downsize. I will not be able to buy a similar item again and not able to sell it at the same price. If you buy an item from me, it most likely is the only one, I have. Not only you are buying an item you are also buying 50 years of experience.  

Due to a family tragedy I had to stop selling for the last few months. I am back now working with my family and would love to see my customers visit me again. 

Thank you for bidding. 

I would like to thank my customers for their positive and encouraging feedbacks I received over the years. They are my credentials that money cannot buy. Your friendship and your support are very much appreciated and valued. Thank you”.
