A set of three Chinese porcelain lotus form bowls
diameter 10 1/2in (26.5cm)
Provenance:
With Elinor Gordon, Villanova, Pennsylvania.

General marks, scratches, rubbing, wear, losses to decoration, glazing and firing flaws. Scattered chips to edges. One with Y-shaped hairline crack across center. One with a 2 x 1/4in area of restoration to rim, nearby this section of rim there is a hairline, approximately 2in in length and there is a further hairline near footrim at center, approximately 4in in length. The third with an impact hairline reaching from a chip at a point of petal rim, to center of plate, approximately 3in in length. Some fluorescence under UV light, but this could be due to the pink enameling rather than restoration.
