• Description:
  Slightly skimmed mouth, deep arc wall, short circle foot. The outer wall of the utensil is made of purple red enamel glaze, and the phoenix tail shaped curly grass brocade pattern is carved on the upper cone. The gap is four round, and the interior is painted with ink and color, landscapes and people. Kaiguang is decorated with brocade ground crocus and flower patterns. The surrounding wall of the vessel is plain without lines, and the bowl is painted with eight petal flowers, with the tip of the petal shaped like a wishful cloud head. The sole edge is unglazed and exposed. The outsole is printed with blue and white seal characters “made in the year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty”. This piece belongs to the Qing Palace’s “magnetic embryo foreign color”, but it has often been called “pastel” since the early Republic of China.
