Bowl with birds and flower sprays c. 1670 - 1690

This set of four small bowls, likely used for tea, features a delicate floral design with birds and flower sprays. They were likely produced in China during the 17th century, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The "Imari" style, with its vibrant colors, like red, blue, and green, is visible, demonstrating the influence of Japanese porcelain styles popular at the time in Europe. Now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, these bowls are a testament to the global exchange of artistic ideas and the enduring beauty of ceramics.
