Lot Essay

A similar bowl is illustrated by S. Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain, London, 1951, pl. CXII (1), where the author describes the mark as being in Mongolian script, and reading 'Baragon Tumed', identifying it as 'part of a service made for a granddaughter of Tao Kuang who married a Mongolian prince of the Tumed banner'. The author further notes, p. 72, that the set was made at the Imperial factories to celebrate the marriage.
