Bell-shaped bowl with flower sprays and a flowering plant near a rock c. 1800

This small, bell-shaped bowl, made in China around 1800, is a fine example of porcelain decorated in the "famille rose" style. The bowl is painted with delicate flowers in shades of blue, green, and orange, a color palette that was characteristic of this type of porcelain. This intricate design would have been admired by its owner, making this bowl a prized object in the home. The bowl is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
