What does this mean?

Hello,

This porcelain bowl bears the Xuantong mark, which references the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who reigned from 1908 to 1912. The bowl is decorated with finely painted floral motifs, vines, and foliage, typical of Qing porcelain’s late imperial period. The design incorporates both overglaze polychrome enamel and underglaze blue, which was a hallmark of high-quality porcelain from Jingdezhen kilns, renowned for their craftsmanship.

The presence of Greek key patterns and stylized lotus motifs signifies the influence of traditional Chinese symbolism in porcelain production during the late Qing period. While the bowl is described as undamaged with typical signs of wear, its condition will significantly impact its valuation.

Market Value:

Bowl’s dimensions (15.2 cm diameter and 6.5 cm height) align with similar Xuantong porcelain pieces typically used for decorative or ceremonial purposes.
