Lot Essay

A very similar bowl in the Troesch Collection, Switzerland is illustrated by Maura Rinaldi, Kraak Porcelain, A Moment in the History of Trade, London, 1989, pl. 202, p. 163, where the author mentions another such bowl in the Gemeente Museum Arnhem, The Netherlands. The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, also has a bowl with similar decoration, but omitting the unusual panel of the lady spinning in the interior (Christiaan J.A. Jörg and J. van Campen, Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1997, p. 64, no. 49).
