Lot Essay

It is rare to find Qianlong dishes of this form and enamelled lemon-yellow. Compare the Qianlong dish of the same form and glaze, illustrated in Chinese Porcelain, The S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, Hong Kong, 1987, no. 143. Compare also a pair of slightly different shape, sold in our New York Rooms, 21 September 2000, lot 403. A pair of Yongzheng marked dishes of this form and glaze is in the Meiyintang Collection, illustrated by R. Krahl in Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 2, p. 241, no. 910.
