QING DYNASTY ENAMELLED PORCELAIN FROM JINGDEZHEN KILNS 中國陶瓷- 清代景德鎮窯

Case 53

“European enamel” monochrome porcelain 洋彩瓷器

Porcelain from the Jingdezhen kilns 景德鎮窯, Jiangxi Province 江西省, Qing dynasty 清代 (1644-1911).

  1. Pair of yellow glazed bowls 檸檬黃釉碗一對

    Mark and reign of Yongzheng 雍正 (1723-1735)

    CB-CC-1930-493 and CB-CC-1930-494

  2. Yellow glazed dish (one of a pair) moulded in the shape of an open lotus flower 黃釉蓮花形盤

    Mark and reign of Yongzheng 雍正 (1723-1735)

    CB-CC-1933-484

    This motif symbolises fertility and numerous offspring.

  3. Chrysanthemum-shaped dish with yellow glaze 黃釉菊花形盤

    Mark and reign of Yongzheng 雍正 (1723-1735)

    CB-CC-1931-486

  4. Bowl with cherry glaze 粉紅釉碗

    Mark and perhaps reign of Kangxi 康熙 (1662-1722)

    CB-CC-1937-482

    Were this piece to belong to the period suggested by its mark, it would date to the very last years of the reign and represent an unexpectedly early use of rose-pink enamel. However, its unusual shade, the shape of the bowl, and the quality of the mark all seem to contradict this conclusion.

  5. “Famille rose” dish with yellow border 粉彩黃釉菊花與蝴蝶紋釉大盤

    Mark and reign of Yongzheng 雍正 (1723-1735)

    CB-CC-1938-587

    Mark and reign of Yongzheng 雍正 (1723-1735)

    This piece is a monochrome equivalent of ruby-back “famille rose” dishes.
