Late Ming Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Bowl

This is an fine example of a Ming Wanli Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Bowl depicting a herons and a scrolling floral background. It has a simple blue ring as a lower border. The interior is decorated with a blue ring at the upper border.  The focal point is an interesting medallion design of swirls and flowers. The bowl is a true treasure that will complement any collection.

There are firing flaws present as should be expected. There is also a hairline fracture, which is shown in pictures. Good condition for age.

The weight shown gives consideration to the extra padding necessary for safe shipping. The bowl has an approximate 6 inch diameter and approximate 3 inch height.
