Two-handled bowl from Burghley House, Lincolnshire

British, London mounts and Chinese porcelain

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 964

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.
