VTG Chinese Rice Bowl Multicolor Copper Gold Porcelain Dragon Wedding Luck Joy

Description

Vintage Chinese Copper-Gold Trim Multicolor Porcelain Rice Bowl Hand Painted
Dragon Phoenix Wedding Luck Joy Wedded Bliss Markings
This beautiful rice bowl makes an elegant statement.  It is in very good condition with some crazing to the gold (not the porcelain) and measures 4.5” in diameter across the top rim and stands 2.5” high.  It was hard to get a picture of the gold areas without reflections, but it is only reflections.  There is a very minute tiny chip on the inside top rim, but very hard to see (see picture).  This gold Chinese rice bowl has colorful red dragons and a variety of other markings. The inner surface of bowl is glazed glossy white.  It is marked Made in China on base in red with other markings.  A wonderful piece of very fine porcelain that would look beautiful on display or to use and also a nice collector piece!
The "double happiness mark" is usually understood to mean "wedded bliss".  This decorative symbol is created by the combination of two xi (joy) characters and referred to as shuang (double) xi (joy)".
