This charming vintage hand-painted Chinese Foochow lacquer bowl features a gold interior with three goldfish and a black exterior with a finely painted dramatic gold dragon with red and green details. I believe it dates to the first half of the 20th century. Wonderful for serving nuts, crackers or other small treats, it looks great on the bar or coffee table, as well as amid a collection of lacquerware or Asiatica.
4.5ʺW × 4.5ʺD × 2.25ʺH, and in very good condition, with very light wear to the paint on the interior as documented in photos.
