$1 RESERVE 17th Century Ming Dynasty Blue & White Dragon Bowl

The following auction is for a lovely blue and white Ming Dynasty bowl dating from the 17th century. The bowl has a design that I don't usually encounter on Ming Dynasty export ware with a dragon chasing a pearl among clouds all in under-glaze blue. The base is glazed with a shop stamp and has very high rims which is a dead giveaway for Ming Dynasty wares. The bowl is in very good order with no chips or cracks. The only wear to note would be the presence of light scuffing to the surface of the glaze in areas. Very difficult to avoid on a piece that is this old.
