YONGZHENG SIX-CHARACTER MARK IN BLACK ENAMEL AND OF THE PERIOD (1723-1735)

The enamel-on-biscuit box (lot 3062) has a more traditional court style that recalls the four Wang masters of the early Qing period, specifically that of Wang Hui (fig. 5). Painting directly on unglazed porcelain body with its porous surface creates an effect even closer to that of ink paintings.
