It was made for export to Europe in the early to mid 1700s with just the blue underglaze decoration, but soon after arriving, it was overpainted in red and gold to keep up with the public&#8217;s new demand for\u00a0colorful porcelain. This method of overpainting is often referred to as clobbering.<\/p>\n<p>You may wonder why I am featuring a bowl that appears to have had its broken halves\u00a0merely glued together. But the &#8220;Mifs Cox&#8221; red mark on the underside\u00a0&#8211; she was most likely the original owner of the bowl &#8211; gives insight into how the bowl was repaired.\u00a0An early form of ceramic repair practiced\u00a0in England during\u00a0the late 1700s to middle\u00a01800s was called &#8220;china burning,&#8221; in which broken ceramics were re-fired at a low temperature, causing the broken pieces to fuse together. The most renowned china burner was Edward Combes of Queen Street, Bristol, who signed his pieces on the underside in red script, similarly to the mark on this bowl. I have a few examples of pieces repaired and signed by Combes and will post them in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/?attachment_id=10761\" rel=\"attachment
