A doucai carp bowl, Qing dynasty, early 18th Century.

The base inscribed with an apocryphal Chenghua mark within a double circle. The rounded sides rising from a straight foot, painted to the exterior with two carp leaping amongst turbulent waves below the radiating sun, the waves cresting against rocks issuing flowering crabapple, the interior with a medallion enclosing a crabapple blossom floating on waters. Diameter 19.5 cm.

Firingspots.

Provenance

From the Collection of a Swedish Connoisseur of Asian Works of Art. This is part of a collection, a collection that was assembled not only with great care, but also with a deep curiosity and passion for learning - a true academic collection. The collector has been actively buying and studying Chinese porcelain since the early 1970’s.
