Chinoiserie Porcelain Gilt Hunt Bowl Signed circa 1770 Famille Rose and Blue

Bowl depicts a hunting scene typical of Chinese Export pottery. On the outer sides of the bowl, are scenes of hunting dogs with black and white spots preparing for a hunt. In the background are trees in green, pink and brown. As well as brown barns or hunting lodges and mountains. Throughout the outside, as well as inside, are gold swirls on a blue background.

Inside, is a painted scene of a man and woman on horseback riding during the hunt. The woman wears a pink overcoat, hat and horsewhip. The man, on a gray horse, is riding in a brown overcoat and red hat with Horn and a whip. In the background is a church, mountain and floral bushes in green, red and pink. This scene is on the bottom of the bowl and surrounded by a gold swirl medallion.

The base of the bowl is decorated in a gold leaf print which seems to be ferns or some other type of flora.

The shape is traditional: raised on a short foot with steep sides. The top rim is in a scallop shape. Made in the Qianlong period, circa 1770.

The strong color palette and rich decoration are hallmarks of Chinese export hunt bowls of the 18th century.

Seems to clean up nicely, however, we are afraid to clean too vigorously to not damage the glaze. In the last photo, you can see where we’ve cleaned up a bit of the white portion with a damp cloth. It seems to be dust collected over the years due to age and wipes off. Additionally, on the base, the rim has some dirt build-up. This is not glazed, but it is dust/dirt from over the years. In our photos, you can see where we’ve wiped a bit of the dust off. Replica pieces are painted to look as though the bottoms are dirty by applying a glaze. In this case, there has been no glaze to fool the buyer.
