A fine rare incised yellow-glazed 'dragon' bowl, Kangxi six-character mark within double-circles and of the period (1662-1722)

Lot 4145. A fine rare incised yellow-glazed 'dragon' bowl, Kangxi six-character mark within double-circles and of the period (1662-1722), 5 in. (12.5 cm.) diam. Estimate HKD 100,000 - HKD 150,000Price realised HKD 524,000 © Christie's Images Ltd 2012

With deep rounded sides, the interior is finely incised at the centre with a full-face dragon amongst clouds. The exterior is surrounded with four roundels of dragons chasing a 'flaming pearl' divided by stylised clouds, above a band of lotus petals near the base. It is covered overall with a bright yellow glaze.  

NoteBowls decorated in this way with incised decoration beneath a yellow glaze appear to be very rare. A slightly larger example was sold at Christie's London, 15 May 2009, lot 192.
