Basin of fritware, painted in cobalt blue under a clear glaze. Six stripy flowers with leaves are neatly spaced round the outside between an upper band of diapers with reserve-painted diagonal crosses and a lower band of linked ruyi heads. A reserve-painted zigzag band and half-crosses line the inner rim. A central medallion on the well surrounds a reserved-painted standing doe in a frontal position with very long legs and set against a leafy ground of florets. The bowl has been restored with rivets. Imitation Chinese "tassel" mark in blue
