For collectors of blue and white porcelain, this Kangxi period bowl is an excellent find. The bowl has a beautiful blue and white color scheme and an interesting penciled decoration. The two fishes marking at the base are a particularly nice touch.

Despite its age, it remains in excellent condition, with just one line from the rim and some fritting to the rim, which do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece.

The Kangxi period, which lasted from 1662 to 1722, is considered one of the most important periods in the history of Chinese porcelain production. During this time, porcelain artisans created some of the most stunning and innovative pieces of porcelain ever made. This blue and white porcelain bowl is a wonderful example of the high level of craftsmanship and creativity that was achieved during this period.

The penciled decoration on this bowl is particularly interesting. Penciled decoration was a technique that was used by porcelain artisans during the Kangxi period to create intricate and detailed designs on porcelain. This technique involved using a small brush to draw fine lines onto the surface of the porcelain, creating a delicate and intricate pattern.
