DescriptionDecorated with three fish, possibly carp, in overglaze enamels, this piece wonderfully expresses the Chinese attention to detail and naturalism. On the inside of the bowl the potter applied two to three drops of green glaze, adding this deliberate imperfection to break the realism.- Art of Asia
