Lot 271: A Chinese Islamic Market Porcelain Bowl Made for...
A Chinese Islamic Market Porcelain Bowl Made for the Ottoman Market.
A Chinese porcelain bowl of gently flared form, rising from a short, neatly finished foot to a slightly everted rim, accented with double blue line borders at the rim and foot.
The exterior is decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with a continuous Arabic calligraphic inscription, freely painted in a flowing hand across the body. The script forms a bold visual band encircling the vessel, contrasting against the clean white ground.
Produced in China for the Islamic export market, the bowl reflects a fusion of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship with Middle Eastern aesthetic preferences, likely intended for the Ottoman market.
