The basic form of the bowl, with a thin body, is derived from a Dutch press-metalwork prototype. The foliate rim, however, is a Chinese modification. The division of the decoration into discrete fields, delineated by linear and ogival frames, is a manner the Chinese potter adopted for certain types of export ware. The motifs, including the central one of the eagle and the rising sun, are commonly seen in Chinese decorative arts of the period.
