Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:The exaggerated form of these bottles together with the large-scale size of the design and the enamel palette employed suggest that they are products of the early Qing rather than the Ming dynasty. Earlier ‘fahua’ pieces have more intricate designs and often further details are cold-painted or incised. The porcelain body indicates that the present bottles were probably made at Jingdezhen.
