• Function: drinking vessel
• Material: Minerals/Ceramics/
• Description:
  The bowl has a wide mouth, a deep curved wall, a flat bottom and a short circle of feet. White glaze is applied inside the vessel, and the plain surface has no lines. The outer wall is decorated with flowers and plants such as peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, and so on. Both grass and flowers are outlined with red and black glaze colors. The design room is covered with deep peach glaze, and the blue and white script “Yongzheng Imperial” is printed on the bottom in regular script, with two side frames. Therefore, the shape, decorative patterns and taste of the goods are very similar to the works of the Kangxi Dynasty, which were collected by our institute and handed down with wooden boxes, so they can be regarded as works inherited from the Kangxi Dynasty. The blue and white wine on the bottom reflects that the porcelain bowl itself should be made in Jingdezhen. As for the decorative patterns on the surface, because they imitate the foreign colors produced in Jingdezhen during the Kangxi period, they are enough to echo the “imitation western enamel” series in Tang Ying’s “Pottery Chronicle Stele”. As for the red glaze applied on the surface of the ware, it can be regarded as contained in the “Pottery Chronicle Stele”
