Its glaze is quite unlike any other in the Sir Percival David Collection. Porcelain decorators, within the Qing palace, painted it in delicate overglaze enamels to show a pastoral scene of two seated ladies and a little boy. The decorators employed a style of painting which uses perspective in the manner of a contemporary eighteenth century European painting. Many features mark the present vase as perhaps an experimental piece. For example, the pink border around the neck with green shading is rarely used at the palace and never at Jingdezhen. The mark on the base is unusual too: a four-character Qianlong mark within a double square in iron-red enamel.Porcelain with transparent glaze made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, overglaze enamels added in Beijing素瓷器: 江西, 景德鎮燒 製; 北京加琺瑯彩Qing dynasty, red enamel Qianlong mark and period, AD1736–95 PDF A818琺瑯彩歐洲女士男童圖瓶這件瓶子瓷胎細白，幾乎薄似蛋殼。其瓷釉和斐西瓦樂·大維德爵士的任何其他藏品都頗為不同。北京清宮中的瓷器畫師用精細的釉上彩，繪以兩位女士閑坐的田園景象，旁有一男童。畫師所用的繪畫風格中，用了類似同時期十八世紀歐洲繪畫中的透視法。這件瓷瓶的諸多特點顯示其可能是一件試驗品。例如瓶子頸部帶有綠色調的粉色邊，在皇宮中很少使用，景德鎮則未見。外底的款識也不多見，雙圈內署鐵紅彩料四字乾隆年款。江西省景德鎮燒成透明釉素面白瓷北京紫禁城彩繪、燒結釉上彩清代，乾隆，紅料乾隆款，1736-1795年
