  This bowl has a wide mouth, deep arc wall, short circle feet, and extremely thin fetal bone. It is a pair of ancient porcelain 17507. The inside of the vessel was plain without lines. Before the mountains were painted in ochre ink on one side of the outer wall, a man looked at the water on the left side of the platform against the wind to see the scene of waves coming in. In one bowl, the man sat alone in front of the stream, while in the other bowl, he stood with his hands folded. On the other side of the outer wall, there is a poem written in ink, “The path of the red spring is separated, and there are gods in the mountains.” In front of the poem, there is “longevity”, and behind it, there are three red ink seals, “mountain high” (in white) and “water long”. The bottom of the utensil is provided with two lines of blue Song typeface made in Yongzheng year. The ochre enamel colored porcelain of the Yongzheng Dynasty was painted with landscapes, flowers, bamboo and stone. According to the archives, the shapes of the vessels were plates, bowls, tea balls, and wine balls. Emperor Yongzheng praised such works and hoped that “more ink and wash painters should burn more”.
