Antique signed oriental cloisonne bowl. It features a large yellow dragon motif circling the sacred pearl; exterior has 4 dragons. It is quite large; it measures 9.25 wide from rim to rim, or 11.5 inches from exterior to ext; and stands 4 tall. Nice condition but for one small dent on exterior body, (neglected to photograph it, but it likely will not show up in a picture anyway). The bottom is signed with 3 Chinese symbols in a square; bottom right symbol is Ming Dynasty mark but it's in red so likely made in 19th C for export. Age est: late 19th. This came from an auction regarding the estate of a person who had a large variety of orientalia including bonsai books, bowls, etc. shcau9.07CC
