Chinese porcelain fish bowl with floral motif

This porcelain fish bowl features the traditional Chinese famille rose palette, characterized by its delicate floral designs in pastel colors. The piece likely dates to the mid-20th century and showcases chrysanthemums, peonies, and other auspicious flowers that carry symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. These decorative fish bowls, known as 'yang yu gang' in Chinese, were traditionally used to house ornamental goldfish but became popular globally as decorative planters and cachepots. Collectors of Asian ceramics and interior designers particularly value these pieces for their vibrant colors, detailed craftsmanship, and their ability to add an elegant, exotic touch to home décor.
