This is a highly captivating blue and white porcelain bowl from the Ming dynasty, featuring a grapevine motif. The exterior is delicately adorned with faint incised patterns, while the interior is boldly decorated with grapes, vines, and a butterfly, all rendered in cobalt blue with expressive shading. In Chinese ceramics, grape motifs are popular symbols of prosperity and fertility, and in this bowl, the plumpness of the grapes and the elegant flow of the vines are depicted with meticulous brushwork, reflecting a high level of craftsmanship. A large grape cluster is positioned in the center of the interior, drawing the eye inward and achieving a harmonious balance between decorative beauty and practical function. On the base, an inscription reads “Made during the Chenghua reign of the Great Ming,” following the style of that period. The exterior surface features subtle dragon-like patterns that appear and disappear with changes in light, lending the piece an added layer of refined charm. The condition is excellent, with no major chips or signs of repair. Both the rim and foot are well preserved, and the natural color changes and craquelure developed over time enhance the distinctive character of antique ceramics. This piece is a worthy addition to any collection and would also make a thoughtful gift for anyone with an appreciation for East Asian art.
