Fine Brinjal Bowl, Kangxi Mark and Period



This is another fine Chinese Imperial porcelain from our large collection of oriental ceramics we plan to list on ebay in the next few months. This large bowl is called Brinjal bowl due to its unique aubergine ( Brinjal, egg plant ) color which is one of the three main colors ( green, yellow and aubergine ) used for this type of ware. This short-lived type of ware was popular during the Kangxi Period (1654-1722). The beautiful bowl was first carved with a dragon on the exterior before it was decorated and glazed with low-fire lead-based glaze. The decoration consists of two flower branches on each side. There are three flowers of aubergine, turquoise and yellow color respectively on each branch with brilliant green leaves. Two flying butterflies hover over the flowers. The barely visible carved dragon under the glaze shows beautifully under the color patches. A six-character Kangxi mark within a double-ring is inscribed in underglaze blue inside the raised foot rim. This is an extremely fine and large example of this rare type of Imperial porcelain unique to Kangxi period. Other than a small rim chip and its associated short crack, this beautiful Brinja bowl is in excellent condition.
Size: Diameter: 18.6cm; Height: 8.3cm
