Description
Vietnamese Bleu de Hue Porcelain Bowl W/Scholar Scene & Metal Rim - This bleu de hue porcelain bowl is elaborately decorated in vivid blue underglaze with an ornate scholar scene. The bowl is also finished with a metal rim, as selected vessels were finished with rims of silver as early as the Han dynasty to set them apart from the ordinary and to make them suitable for high class clients. This very high quality porcelain was ordered from China for the court use. Although Chinese artisans executed the painting, Vietnamese rulers dictated the designs. Each ruler ordered ceramics of his own liking for use in his court, as well as presentation pieces to give to members of royal families and mandarin officials. The bottom of the bowl bears a four character marking in underglazed blue. Measurements: 4.25" diameter x 2" high.
