This vintage Chinese porcelain serving bowl features a boldly hand-painted koi fish motif rendered in rich navy blue against a soft white back ground. The expressive brushwork, fluid lines, and subtle variations in glaze speak to traditional hand-craftsmanship rather than factory perfection.
The underside bears a Made in China mark, indicating mid- to late-20th-century production, circa 1970s–1980s. Pieces from this era were often hand-formed and hand-decorated, which accounts for the organic character and natural variations present throughout.
Measuring approximately 9 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, this bowl is well-suited for serving, display, or use as a decorative accent in a chinoiserie-inspired interior, collected tabletop, or curated shelf vignette.
Condition
No chips or cracks.
There are minor surface irregularities consistent with hand-making, including small specks of clay visible beneath the glaze and a soft crease in the glaze surface. These are inherent to the production process and add authenticity and character rather than detracting from the piece.
