| Place of origin |
Bowl with four contiguous scenes, (cf. 2902-1876). One has a set of two ducks in flight and the other three geese, one of them in mid-air. A pair of double peaches with leaves is painted under a composition of variegated rocks in a context of four minimal balustrades, Kraak clouds, bees and scattered dots. A broad plain band leads to the ring base. Nine linked lappets decorate the inner rim band. Ten separate and unusual loops surround the central roundel with two ducks sitting on a rocky mound between a small flowery branch and more rocks, roots and a small cascade. Painted in 3 blues and black. The bowl is heavy and has no mark.
