The floral pattern that ornaments this covered bowl was a popular motif on export blue-and-white porcelain of the K'ang-hsi period (1662-1722). It is frequently encountered in Chinese porcelain salvaged from ships which wrecked in the early 17th century, some of them off the coast of Florida. In these instances, the cargo was shipped over the Pacific via Mexico and the West Indies to Europe.
