Antique 19th Century Chinese Canton Export Blue & White Porcelain Shallow Bowl
Own a tangible piece of Qing Dynasty maritime history with this authentic 19th-century Chinese Canton Export shallow bowl (or deep plate). Hand-painted in traditional underglaze cobalt blue, this piece features the iconic Canton riverscape pattern—a serene narrative of pagodas, arched bridges, and distant mountain peaks.
The rim is decorated with the classic lattice-and-cloud border, a hallmark of porcelain produced in the Guangzhou region for the Western market. Unlike mass-produced modern versions, this antique piece displays a "soft" cobalt blue and a thick, vitreous glaze that feels substantial in the hand. It is an ideal "found" object for a Blue and White gallery wall, a sophisticated mantel vignette, or as a soulful accent in a Coastal Modern interior.
Dimensions
8.75”W x 8.75”D x 1.5”H
Condition
Fair Antique Condition – This piece wears its 150+ years of history openly. It features a visible vertical crack (see photos) and several original production "character marks," including an uneven scalloped edge and firing grit/pits in the glaze. These imperfections are common in authentic Canton ware and serve as a testament to its age and hand-crafted origin. It is offered in "as-found" condition, perfect for the collector who appreciates Wabi-sabi beauty and genuine patina.
A distinguished addition to any collection of Asian Antiques, this Canton bowl bridges the gap between ancient Eastern artistry and the storied history of global trade. It is a piece that tells a story of the sea, the kiln, and the passage of time.
