[Qianlong Style Carmine Blue Ground Enamel Colored Bougainvillea Flask]

Qianlong Style Carmine Blue Ground Enamel Colored Bougainvillea Flask, Qing Dynasty Qianlong Style, 16.8 cm high, 6.8 cm calibre, 7.5 cm foot diameter
The bottle body is double connected, with a coiled mouth, a short neck, a smooth shoulder, a round belly, a bunched shin, and a slightly outwardly curled circular foot. Attached is a double cover with a jewel shaped button on top. The inner wall of the bottle is painted with turquoise green glaze. The outer wall is decorated with a rolling process on the carmine and blue ground, and is painted with flower patterns with folded branches. The outer sole is painted with white glaze, and from right to left, it is decorated with a single line of six characters in blue color seal “made in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty”
This bottle has a beautiful shape and exquisite design, which is known as the “Joyous Bottle” in the court archives of the Qing Dynasty. The rolling process is a decorative technique created during the Qianlong period, which uses an iron cone to draw flower patterns on the colored ground of enamel that are as thin as a hair and as thin as a phoenix tail. Painting flower patterns on the rolling ground has the artistic effect of painting enamel on copper bodies. This process is quite laborious, and the records of the Qing Palace’s Internal Affairs Office call this newly created decorative pattern “icing on the cake.”.
