Lot details

China, 1862-1874. The shallow rounded sides rising from a ring foot to a slightly everted rim, finely painted to the interior with five bats (wufu) and to the exterior with four evenly spaced lingzhi mushrooms. With a four-character mark Tongzhi nianzhi to the recessed base in iron red and of the period.
