Foliated bowl with flower design, enamelled ware

Foliated bowl with flower design, enamelled ware

Height 11.5 cm, mouth diameter 24.7 cm, base diameter 10.1 cm
 This is a masterpiece of Kakiemon-style milky-white hand painting in the style of Kakiemon in the period of its completion. The shape of the mouth is very neat, with a five-petaled flower ring shape, and the clay molding is thin and rectangular. The design on the inside and outside of the bowl is not gaudy, but rather graceful, taking full advantage of the beauty of the pure white porcelain body. On the underside of this bowl, there is an inscription indicating that it was once in the collection of Augustus II, Elector of Saxony.
