Featured Details on Chinese blue & white antique bowl

Hello

Please help me get the keywords right on this Chinese porcelain bowl.

19th century blue & white Chinese export bowl?

Is it correct to call the pattern blue willow if it's Chinese origin?

14cm diam, 7cm height

 

Whilst not THE willow pattern it certainly has willows in it so no harm in using it. I would add "early" to the19th century and "hand painted" as it looks to be hand painted from the photos (you will be able to see better). It is very much like the printed bowls made by Miles Mason (they probably copied this).

 

I would mention the Pagoda too.
Are they painted rocks on the inside bottom?

 

Yes it's all hand painted, and they are rocks on the inside, with ferns above them.

 

As John suggested above, this is English, early 19thc and not Chinese.
I have quite a lot of this stuff and even use some for my daily meals!

I can't remember who I finally decided made it but the way to search it is to look for "willow pattern" and try and match up the transfer, including the term "gold" in the search - the gold trim will eliminate a lot of possibilities. My plates in this pattern also have a bunch of gold dots in the border, along with the gold rims.

 

Oh damn @blooey . I was so sure I was right about this one.

Heres some close ups...

 

Uh-oh! Hand painted, not transfer! Disregard my post above then

 

Phew!

 

Shine a light through it, if it glows orange its either Caughley or Worcester, other colours other potteries, but English
