Bowl with Lotus Scrolls
A deep porcelain bowl with a flaring wall and a short foot, its green enamel ground covered in gold scrolling lotus blossoms and tendrils. A band of gold lines runs below the rim, and a large central lotus bloom sits at the middle of the bowl's side. The white interior is plain.
Look closer: A small chip and dark speck along the rim at the upper left of the bowl.
