An unusual 18th century Chinese export porcelain small bowl with underglaze blue decoration, with contemporary overpainted (‘Clobbered’) decoration of the famous ‘Cherry Pickers’ pattern, added in Holland.

The base mount has in the impressed mark ‘SIMONET 900’
Date: circa 1750-60
Diameter: 6″ (15cm)
Condition : There is a hairline to one side of the bowl, it is an original crack that has been largly disguised by the overpainting, possibly the reason it was chosen to be ‘clobbered’ in the first place. No recent damage or restoration.
