A small Chinese porcelain Dutch-decorated bowl and cover early 18th century

A small Chinese porcelain Dutch-decorated bowl and cover early 18th century, of plain reeded form, later enamelled with an Oriental-looking figure seated beneath a tree, with two European figures either side, the landscape distinctly Dutch with a windmill and other buildings in the distance, the cover with further figures between trees, in a floral panel, 7cm high.

Provenance: the Helen Espir Collection, no. 882. Purchased from Bonhams, The Watney Collection of Chinese Porcelain Decorated in Holland and England, 7th November 2003, lot 38.

The slight crudeness of the enamelling suggests it was decorated c.1750.
