Pair of Chinese porcelain bowls decorated in famille rose enamels with an opposing long-tailed phoenix and five-clawed dragon chasing flaming pearls among clouds over green waves. An orange-red five-clawed sinewy dragon among flames is in the interior well. A six-character kaishu iron-red Guangxu mark is on the base. Probably of the period and circa 1900. Custom stands and a padded silk presentation box are included. 7 3/4” diameter, 3 1/4” high. Very good overall condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is minor rubbing to the glaze. There is an original production flaw to the well of one bowl and a tiny imperfection (likely a burst bubble) to the rim of the other. From the collection of former American expatriates to Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s.
