Metropolitan Museum of Art Qing Dynasty Asian design silk scarf. "An early eighteenth-century Chinese porcelain bowl in the Museum's collection combines typical Eastern ornamentation with European details meant to appeal to a Western market. Called a Monteith, a type of bowl with a notched rim, it is the source for our luxurious tree-and-flower print scarf. The motifs of a sprawling tree, blossoming flowers, and fish are painted in overglaze famille verte enamels and gilt."
