Pair of very large Chinese export porcelain fish bowls or jardinieres in the Famille Rose style measuring 18 inches tall and 21 inches across.

Every inch of this fantastic Chinese fish bowl is adorned with hand-painted overglaze enamels, a manner of porcelain decorating known as famille rose.

The interior of the bowl is decorated as well, enameled with goldfish and underwater flora. Today, we love using a bowl of this scale as an indoor fish pond...
