Bowl with Poppies, Tree Peony, and Flowering Mimosa

A white porcelain bowl with flared sides is painted in overglaze enamels with pink tree peonies, a poppy bud, and blossoming branches growing beside a grey rock. Pale yellow washes highlight the leaves on the right, and a small foot ring sits beneath the bowl.

Look closer: A small red-and-green poppy bud hangs at the left edge near the rim.
