A Chelsea bowl, circa 1752

Of octagonal form, painted in kakiemon style with flowering prunus and bamboo issuing from banded hedges, a long-tailed phoenix in flight, the everted rim with a dense foliate border reserved on a green ground, a large flowerhead to the interior, 11.1cm diam

Footnotes

The use of green in the foliate border is unusual, with turquoise being more commonly employed in kakiemon palette. A bowl of identical form and size, painted in underglaze blue is illustrated by John C Austin, Chelsea Porcelain at Williamsburg (1977), p.67, no.49.
