Description from the seller
Lot title
"Rose Family" bowl with Mandarine scenes and gilt-edged panels – export Chinese porcelain – Qing Dynasty, Qianlong period (c. 1736-1795)
Item Description
Magnificent and rare Chinese export porcelain bowl from the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Emperor period (c. 1736-1795), decorated in the Rose Family palette (Famille Rose).
This is a piece of exceptional artistic quality and unusual design, characterized by the alternation of two main decorative motifs on the exterior body:
Mandarin Scenes (Mandarin Palette): Meticulously detailed court scenes depicting dignitaries (mandarins) and their attendants on terraces and in gardens.
Gilt-ground Panels: Contour-nuage shaped panels with beautiful paintings of flowers and stylized birds, framed by a delicate geometric pattern worked in gilt diaper pattern.
The interior presents a fine decorative garland on the upper rim with the classic "lance tip" motif in iron-red and gold, accompanied by a hand-painted floral spray in the background.
