Yongzheng yuzhi bowls of this form and design were enamelled with either yellow or blue flowers on a coral-red ground.
Other identical examples with yellow flowers include a pair in the Chang Foundation, illustrated in Selected Chinese Ceramics from Han to Qing Dynasties, Taipei, 1993, pl. 142; a single bowl included in the Min Chiu Society Silver Jubilee Exhibition, Anthology of Chinese Art, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1985, Catalogue, no. 178; one from the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Painted Enamel of the Ch'ing Dynasty, Taipei, 1979, pl. 35; and another sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 1999, lot 345.
Bowls of similar form with blue flowers include two illustrated by H. Moss, By Imperial Command: An Introduction to Ch'ing Imperial Painted Enamels (Plates), Hong Kong, 1976, pl. 77, from the Maze Foundation, together with a bowl with the addition of famille rose enamel, from the Musee Guimet, pl. 79; one from the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Chogoku Toji Zenshu, vol. 21, pl. 105; a pair illustrated by A. du Boulay, Christie's Pictorial History of Chinese Ceramics, London, 1984, p. 240, no. 4; and another sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 2 May 1994, lot 738.
The famille rose palette emerged at the end of the Kangxi period (1662-1722) and developed further in the Yongzheng period, eventually phasing out the use of famille verte enamels. The present bowl would have been made early in the Yongzheng reign.
