Chinese late Qing dynasty porcelain bowl with a slightly flared rim decorated around the exterior in two shades of underglaze blue with four stylized lotus blossoms among leafy scrolling tendrils set against a smooth, translucent white porcelain ground. A double blue line encircles both the rim and foot. The interior of the bowl is undecorated. Late 19th to early 20th century. 6 1/4” diameter x 3” high. Very good overall condition with no chips, frits, or cracks. The rim feels a bit rough due to tiny production irregularities. There are only a few tiny pin holes to the glaze on the unmarked base. It has a nice ring when tapped. From the collection of former American expatriates to Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s.
