Chinese porcelain dragon bowl, late Qing Guangxu period, the body decorated in underglaze blue with a five claw dragon chasing a flaming pearl, W11cm.
Provenance - from the collection of Hugh Edward Richardson CIE OBE FBA (22 December 1905 – 3 December 2000[2]) was an Indian Civil Service officer, British diplomat and Tibetologist. His academic work focused on the history of the Tibetan empire, and in particular on epigraphy. He was among the last Europeans to have known Tibet and its society before the Chinese invasions which began in 1950.
Condition - Appears in very good condition, on the inside base of the bowl there appears to be two very small fine lines, it is difficult to ascertain whether these are scratches or the beginnings of a very fine hairline within the glaze.
