These magnificent jardinières are part of a well documented group of wares richly embellished with hardstones and semi-precious stones.
The jardinières are beautifully painted with soft tones of pink, red, yellow and blue, all reserved on a pale lilac ground. There are a number of these delicately painted enamel wares in the Forbidden City, Beijing; compare a painted enamel Kang-table with the same type of floral decoration but on a yellow ground and published in Jin Shu Tai Falanqi or Metal-bodied Enamel Ware, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2002, p. 239, pl. 226.
A number of these hard and semi-precious stones-embellished wares are also in the Forbidden City, but none of them of such size as the current lot. Compare a miniature landscape of narcissus but on a carved jade pot, illustrated in Treasures of Imperial Court, The Complete Collection of Treasures of The Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2004, p. 48, pl. 41. See also a miniature landscape of a coral peach tree, where the flowers are carved from jade, quartz and malachite, ibid, p. 40, pl. 33.
