Lot Essay
The present bowl is shallower than many Daoguang ‘medallion’ bowls, and instead its shape more closely follows the coveted shallow enameled Imperial bowls from the Kangxi period with pink or blue-enameled yuzhi marks. A group of four of these Kangxi bowls is illustrated by M. Beurdeley and G. Raindre, Qing Porcelain: Famille Verte, Famille Rose, London, 1987, pp. 132-33, no. 189.
Compare a very similarly decorated and shaped ‘medallion’ bowl, but with a Jiaqing seal mark, in the Nanjing Museum, illustrated in Treasures in the Royalty: The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, pp. 366-67. See, also, a Daoguang ruby-ground ‘medallion’ bowl with the more typically rounded sides and decorated with mountain scenery, 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. 242, no. 214.
