Est. $4,000-$1,000,000 Nguyen Dynasty Thieu Tri Bleu de Hue Porcelain Bowl in Octogonal Form W/Metal Rim & Eight Dragon Roundels - This bowl is of octagonal form, a form favored by the Thieu Tri King. The piece has eight fluted edges, all containing an underglazed dragon roundel. This octogonal form is extremely rare, as we have not found any previously sold at auction. This is a true investment quality piece. Selected vessels were finished with rims of silver as early as the Han dynasty to set them apart from the ordinary and to make them suitable for high class clients, suggesting that this piece was made for someone of nobility. Measures: 6.25" diameter x 3.25"H.
