A Good Chinese Transitional Blue & White Porcelain Bowl (17th Century).It is fairly "heavily-potted" and elaborately decorated in underglaze blue, the pattern featuring flower blossoms. To the base is a floral mark within two wide blue bands. The rim is coated in iron brown to prevent fritting of the glaze during manufacture. Diameter 14.75 cm (5.75 inches). This bowl is in fine condition with no repair or restoration and a good ring when tapped. Transitional Period, middle to late 17th Century. Provenance: from the collection of the late Brian Page (1938-2018), the well-known Oriental art and antiques dealer from Brighton.
