Scope and content
A Chinese soup spoon. The object is a glazed piece of porcelain, hand shaped, with an all over green toned under glaze. Multi-coloured enamel brushwork applied over the glaze decorates the interior of the hand and spoon. The brushwork depicts the "Four Seasons" pattern. A flat area on the undersurface of the spoon allows the piece to sit on a flat surface with the handle pointed upwards. There are no potter's marks.
