The inside is decorated at the top with a wide-rimmed patterned border in underglaze iron-red separated by floral sprays in enamel colors set onto the white ground while the bottom and lower sides of the bowl are spattered with flower blossoms in under glazed iron red.
The bowl is further decorated with small areas of gilding to the rim and cartouches. Resting on a very nice rosewood base that is well carved and beautifully proportioned the bowl makes a lovely statement while not being overly complicated or embellished.
The colors are bright with no damage or cracks. The stand has a good old finish.
