Two-handled bowl from Burghley House, Lincolnshire

Chinese porcelain 1573– ca. 1585, British mounts ca. 1585
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 509
The sinuous painting on this fine blue-and-white bowl is in keeping with porcelain made for the domestic market in China and is unlike the coarser wares that later were made specifically for export. The gilt-silver mounts, which show the influence of Antwerp design, have finely stamped and cast motifs that refer to the ornament of classical architecture.
