Description:
Chinese export porcelain, molded waste bowl decorated with applied grapes and vines. David Howard notes that this type of decoration would have been expensive to produce, but was in fashion. The technique was used principally on export ware between 1730 and 1745. The top of the bowl is unglazed suggesting that there was once a cover.
