GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This bowl, or tureen, as well as its lid and stand are peach-form and have naturalistic twig and leaf handles. The lid is relief-molded with peaches. Each piece is finely painted; the selection of colors is lovely and the asymmetric design of peonies, chrysanthemums and other flowers is imaginative.
Excerpt from
Dallas Museum of Art, The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection (Dallas, Texas: Dallas Museum of Art, 1985), 192.
