This is a Palace Bowl from the Chenghua period of the Ming dynasty, renowned for its elegant and delicate underglaze blue decoration. While the exterior features a modest yet refined finish, the interior showcases a vibrant design of butterflies and flowers, highlighting the soft and clear blue characteristic of the Chenghua period. The combination of butterflies and flowers symbolizes prosperity and happiness, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities and aspirations of the time.
Despite its thin and lightweight construction, the bowl exhibits perfectly balanced proportions, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of its maker. Furthermore, there are no significant chips or restoration marks on the rim or foot, indicating that the piece is remarkably well-preserved. This makes it a rare and valuable example of both historical significance and artistic beauty. Chenghua porcelain is exceedingly rare, and a piece of this high quality is highly prized by collectors and researchers alike.
