Lot Essay
The kinrande technique, which is characterised by thin lace-like gilding, is largely decorated on iron-red enamel, such as the kinrande bowl with a similar lotus scroll around the exterior on an iron-red ground, illustrated by J. Ayers, Chinese Ceramics, The Koger Collection, London, 1985, pl. 86.
No other example with gold on yellow appears to have been published. However, similar bowls in various colours in the Percival David Foundation, include a pair with gold decoration on white ground, one with rubbed gilding on underglaze-blue, one on iron-red and another on green enamel, illustrated by R. Scott and R. Kerr, Ceramic Evolution in the Middle Ming Period, 1994, pls. 91-94 respectively. Cf. another two on white and a single bowl with gold on green, illustrated by J. Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, pls. 9:62, 63 and 66.
