Chinese Ming Dynasty Blue and White Peony Porcelain Washing Pot. Potted with a shallow body, slight deep, open round centre with flaring wide rim, dome body, raised on round foot base slight concave. Hand painted ornamentations are rendered in white base color which contrast against blue color, depicted of abundant peony flowers bloom interspersed foliage and scrolling interlocking tendril. A characteristic heaped and piled effect, the under glaze greyish-blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep blue-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design.The underside unglazed, revealed the pale-creme ground revealed and dark greyish brown spotted firing marks and edge-cut foot rim.
