Set of 4 Chinese blue and white bowls with lotus scrolls – 19th century

Chinese blue and white porcelain, Qing, 19th century

A set of four Chinese blue and white bowls with a flared rim and a loosely painted decoration of lotus scrolls. A calligraphic character inside, and a painted mark under the foot. Made in the Qing dynasty, in the 19th century, for everyday use and export to South-East Asia.

Why we chose these bowls

Keeping four pieces of the same model together is quite special for 19th-century utilitarian porcelain. They are still very usable, for rice, nuts, a dessert or simply as decoration.

Style and interior

Lovely on open shelves in a country kitchen, in a Japandi or wabi sabi interior, or stacked as a still life.
