An attractive blue ground Canton Enamel six lobed bowl with two reserves that are separated by with continuous scrolling green foliage and pink flowers executed in thick enamels. In one reserve is a painting of a young boy watching an elder fishing. The other reserve features two men sitting and talking - behind the man on the left is a brazier from which a snake like column of smoke arises. The interior of the boxes is coated in turquoise enamel. The depth of the bowl is 2” and the diameter is 6 ½”. The lower part of the exterior has a band of blue and yellow lappets. The base is unmarked. The bowl is probably late 19th century in date – we believe it to be true late Qing Canton enamel not a modern reproduction. Condition is excellent with no chips, missing enamel or restorations.
Painted enamels were developed by the Qing emperors. Painted enamel of Qing dynasty embodied traditional Chinese aesthetic concepts. The ornament of the dish with reserves, lappets and flower is a fine example. The emperor Qianlong incessantly recruited enamel artisans from Canton to produce painted enamel works in the palace, but also required considerable assistance from private workshops in Canton. |
