Lot Essay

Vases decorated with the theme of boys at play, painted between colored borders, were produced in numerous variations during the Jiaqing reign; for example see a bottle vase against lime-green borders, sold at New York Sotheby's, 13 September 2017, lot 32. The motif of boys at play is also seen on earlier Qianlong period wares; compare a lantern-shape vase with the bajixiang painted on green enamel bands, illustrated in Qing Imperial Porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Reigns, Nanjing, 1995, no. 87
