Interesting antique Japanese porcelain bowls with nice scene of the dragon. Bleu de Hue. This is one of the Japanese Stamped bleu de hue pieces, so its not painted but stamped. This is a late 19th c Japanese innovation. The production of bleu de hue porcelain in China has been ongoing until at least the 1940s. Some of the later porcelains are Japanese and in particular those from 1935-1945 are from Japan, with transfer printed decoration. So is this bowl.

The base has a mark.

From the 1700s onwards, kings of the Le-Trinh dynasty in Vietnam ordered porcelain from China for their court. This type is named after Hue, the 19th-century capital of the last royal dynasty in Vietnam, the Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945). Although Chinese artisans executed the painting, Vietnamese rulers dictated the designs. Each ruler ordered ceramics of his own liking for use in his court, as well as presentation pieces to give to members of royal families and mandarin officials.
