Striking vintage Chinese porcelain 4 1/4" footed tea bowl decorated with a rich pink-to-rose exterior and a traditional incised dragon-and-cloud motif. The exterior design features sinuous Chinese Sgraffito dragons among stylized clouds, picked out against the colored ground by the contrasting white porcelain decoration.
