Bowl with Birds and Flowers in Reserved Panels in Enamels on a Rouge-red Ground

While unglazed vessels used to make Yongzheng-era enamel porcelain primarily came from Jingdezhen kilns, some were recycled from leftover ceramics with scraffito décor and plane white glaze from the Yongle era (1403-1424). A seal on the interior of the bowl bears a stamp that indicates a Yongle era of production but the exterior foot bears a peach-shape seal that reveals the bowl’s actual identity as a Yongzheng-era work. This combination of seals is rarely seen among Yongzheng-era enamel ceramics.
