A hexagonal moulded small bowl or mukuzuke decorated with alternating panels of Buddhist Lions and Peonies painted in a limited three colour palette of iron red, green and yellow enamels and a Camelia flower to the interior of the bowl based on a Chinese wucai pattern of the late Ming period. A cheerful auspicious pattern celebrating the season of spring. The Buddhist lions rendered as playful characters rather than as fierce guardians. A mukuzuke of round form with everted rim with an almost identical pattern is illustrated in the Shibata Collection Volume V no 291 and there dated 1700-1740. The bowl measures 11.5cm in diameter and stands 7cm high. It weighs 187gm and it is in good condition with no cracks, chips or restoration. The cost of shipping within the UK is included in the Sterling price. Worldwide shipping is included in the US$ price. Additional images available on request.
