Blue and White Porcelain Grape Motif Bowl

This item is a circular porcelain bowl, primarily white with intricate blue underglaze decoration. The interior of the bowl features a prominent design of grape clusters and intertwining grapevines with leaves, covering the central portion of the dish. The blue color used for the grapes and foliage appears to be a medium to dark cobalt blue, exhibiting some variation in intensity that adds depth to the design. A decorative border encircles the rim of the bowl's interior, consisting of a repeated pattern of stylized shapes, possibly inspired by Ruyi or Greek key motifs, framed by thin blue lines. The exterior of the bowl is not visible in the provided image. The edges of the bowl appear smooth and refined, indicating good craftsmanship. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or significant abrasions visible, suggesting the bowl is in good to very good condition. The porcelain has a glossy finish, typical of glazed ceramics. The style suggests it could be East Asian, possibly Chinese or Japanese, and potentially mid-20th century or earlier, given the traditional artistry. The bowl is currently resting on a reflective, possibly silver-plated or stainless steel, serving tray with a beaded edge, which is not part of the item being appraised.
