Bowl with Flower Designs on a Yellow Ground in Enamels

Kangxi Reign (1662-1722), Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

The interior of the bowl is unadorned while the exterior bears yellow glaze and enamel decorations of green pine trees and rocks with a peony and chrysanthemum pattern. The design is neat and exquisite while the colors are bright and eye-catching. Enamel porcelain was produced exclusively for court use. Only a small quantity was made and passed down through the generations.
