Lot Essay

The hallmark, Qing Yi Tang, refers to the 'Hall of Blessings and Correctness', and is associated with porcelains ranging from Yongzheng to Jiaqing. A larger (23 cm.) bowl decorated in famille rose enamels in a millefleur pattern reserved on a gold ground, with the same hallmark, is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 39 - Porcelains with Cloisonne Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 208, no. 184, where it is dated to the Jiaqing period.
