each finely potted with steep sides rising from a short straight foot, molded to the interior with a central medallion enclosing twin phoenix, encircled by six radiating panels enclosing vases and jardinières with varying floral displays, all beneath a keyfret band, covered overall in a pale blue glaze save for the exposed rim (2)

One bowl has a short firing line to the rim, with small associated flake chips and a short associated glaze line (both to the exterior only). Otherwise, each bowl is in overall good condition with only minor expected wear (including minute chips to the unglazed rim) and minor firing imperfections. The color of the glaze is consistent with the illustration in the printed catalog.
