Bowl

1727
Made by De Metaale Pot (The Metal Pot), Delft, Netherlands (1670–1775) Under Cornelis Koppens (active at De Metaale Pot (The Metal Pot) 1724–1757)
The outside of this bowl is decorated with Renaissance-style motifs of flower baskets encircled by laurel wreaths. The date 1727 and the initials M.R are centered in a crowned cartouche flanked by griffins embellished with tassels. The design on the inside of the bowl---Chinese good luck symbols with flowing ribbons---shows the influence of Chinese porcelain of the transitional period of Emperor Kangxi (1662-1722).
