🔍 PROVENANCE / MAKER NOTES:
This bowl dates to the late Qing period, likely produced in the famed Jingdezhen kilns. The “CHINA” mark suggests it was made for export after the 1891 McKinley Tariff Act, which required origin markings on goods entering the U.S. The pierced rice grain design (filled with translucent glaze) was a hallmark of high-quality Chinese porcelain from this period.

The central medallion features a “shou” character, symbolizing longevity and good fortune, flanked by stylized bat motifs, also symbolic of happiness in Chinese culture.
