Located in Richmond, CA
This Qing Dynasty Daoguang period famille rose porcelain bowl is a masterful example of Chinese ceramic artistry, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities and technical prowess of its time. The exterior of the bowl is finely painted in the famille rose palette, featuring a lush floral scene with pomegranates, branches, leaves, and numerous chrysanthemum flowers set in a rocky garden.

Contrasting the vibrant exterior, the interior of the bowl is elegantly decorated in blue and white. At its center is a medallion encircled by double circle marks, a traditional design element that adds depth to the bowl's overall composition. Adding to the interior's charm are four uniquely decorated lanterns, each adorned with flowing ribbons, further enhancing the bowl's visual appeal. The bowl is finely potted, featuring an inverting rim that adds a subtle yet sophisticated touch to its form. Authenticating the piece is a six-character Qing Daoguang mark within a raised footring, confirming its period provenance. This Daoguang bowl...

Antique, New and Vintage Asian Ceramics

With their rich and diverse history, antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics offer colorful and sophisticated ways to add flair to any space.

Japanese pottery dates back at least 13,000 years to the Jōmon period. Pieces from the Late Jōmon era display a rope-cord pattern encircling a pot or jug. During the Muromachi period, potters created simple bowls and utensils frequently used in tea ceremonies and were made as both functional and aesthetic objects.

Ceramics made during Japan’s Meiji period, from 1868 to 1912, reflected an explosion of artistic expression propelled by new access to international trade. Details became more intricate and refined, and colors were enhanced with new glazing practices.

Chinese porcelain, meanwhile, is often identified by its shape. Each reign and dynasty had specific shapes and styles that were encouraged by the imperial ruler. During the Song dynasty, for instance, there were four dominant types of ceramic vase shapes: plum-shaped, pear-shaped, cong-shaped (tall and square) and double-gourd.

Chinese ceramics that were made during the Qing dynasty were demonstrative of an expanded artistic expression, with more delicate shapes and a focus on intricate detailing. The shapes of ceramics from this era are thinner, taller and have subtle features like a gentle flare, such as on the mallet-shaped vase.

Later, the 17th- and 18th-century interior design trend of chinoiserie brought Asian paintings and screens, textiles and other art and furniture from the continent into many European homes.

Explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage Asian ceramics on 1stDibs to find the perfect piece for your home.
