Lot Essay

The set of twelve-coloured 'chrysanthemum' dishes from the Yongzheng period is in the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated in Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong, Hong Kong, 1989, p. 316, no. 145. Six are illustrated by Feng Xianming, Wenwu, 1984, p. 37, no. 10, where the author notes that a decree issued in the eleventh year of Yongzheng (corresponding to 1733) instructed Nian Xiyao, Minister of the Imperial Household, to send 'twelve colours of chrysanthemum dishes one of each colour, for the inspection of the permanent guardian of the treasury and chief eunuch Samuha'. The decree further mentions 'forty pieces to be fired of every type according to the samples'.
