Notes:

For a similar bowl see Maura Rinaldi, Kraak Porcelain – A Moment in the History of Trade, Bamboo Publishing Ltd, London 1989, pl. 203, p. 164. A bowl with almost identical decoration is in the Arnhem Museum, and another example can be found in the Victoria & Albert Museum (252-1889) where it is dated 1630-45. For another almost identical example see Christiaan J.A. Jörg in collaboration with Jan van Campen, Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, published by Phillip Wilson and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, London and Amsterdam, 1997, pl. 49, p. 64. For a similar large-size Kraak bowl with panels of figures see Oriental Blue and White by Sir Harry Garner (Faber, 1954), illustration 63b, diameter 14.5”, in the Victoria and Albert Museum. See also Plate 41, p 109 L’Odyssee de la Porcelaine Chinoise (Collections du Musee National de Ceramique, Sevres, et du Musee National Adrien Dubouche, Limoges, 2003). In Rinaldi (1989) Kraak Porcelain: A Moment in the History of Trade, two further very similar examples can be found on p.163, pl.202, and p.164, pl.203. These bowls, dated by Rinaldi to 1635-50, feature the characteristic alternating panel decoration of this period. The example on pl.203, which belongs to Fonation Custodia Institut, has almost identical decoration, including the scene in the centre of the bowl.
