Their exterior is decorated with elegant famille rose* floral motifs (such as peonies and chrysanthemums) in various colors on a rouge red (yan zhi hong or yang hong, foreign red) background. The peony, known as fu gui hua (the flower of wealth and rank), conveys a wish for official rank in the emperor's civil service as well as a salary and perquisites to ensure wealth. The chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and of fortitude; it blossoms in the fall despite the onslaught of frost and icy winds. It is also known as the hermit of flowers because of its association with Tao Qian (style name yuanming), a fourth-century poet-recluse who resigned his official post and retired to his small farm to write poetry. A number of his poems are about the chrysanthemum. The inside of each bowl is plainly adorned and has a light green glaze. The bottom of the footring is covered with a light green glaze as well. It bears a reign mark yong zheng nian zhi (made during the Yongzheng Reign [of the Qing dynasty]) in overglaze blue, standard script and two columns within a blue double frame. However, these eggshell-thin bowls are not Yongzheng vessels as claimed by the reign mark. The eggshell-thin porcelain was rarely made during the Yongzheng reign. It is generally believed that the so-called 'Yongzheng' vessels with a thin body are likely later copies. The inside of the Yongzheng bowls and bottom of the footring are usually glazed in white. The glaze is not dispersed with the 'orange-peel' patterns (ju pi wen) that typically appear on the Yongzheng vessels. The size and writing of each character in the reign mark here are not as regular and even as the dated four-character Yongzheng mark in standard script. They bear great resemblance in shape and decoration to two dated Yongzheng small bowls with the famille rose floral design on a rouge red background (Li Zongyang, Ming qing ci qi tu jian, Pictorial Handbook of Porcelain in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Changsha: hunan meishu chubanshe, p. 205. 2004). It is evident that they were produced as replicas of these Yongzheng models during the Qing dynasty. * Famille rose (fen cai) refers to a palette developed in the same basis of the famille verte palette (kang xi wu cai) of the Kangxi reign of the Qing dynasty and which was under the direct influence of the enamel decoration ware. In the last years of the Kangxi reign, foreign rouge-red enamel was used to color flower petals. This started the trend toward a new palette (known in the West as famille rose) during the succeeding Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns. The famille rose is characteristically used in this way: glassy white (bo li bai) in which an opaque white enamel (lead arsenate) is employed as the base for coloring garments or flower petals; also, rue oil is used as the drying oil in mixing some pigments. Many enamels of the palette include certain imported materials, such foreign red, foreign yellow, foreign green, and foreign white. Compared with the famille verte, the new palette fires at a lower temperature and has a wider color range. It also appears softer and gentler, hence its other name 'soft colors' (ruan cai). During the Yongzheng reign, famille rose wares reached their zenith, replacing the famille verte of the Kangxi reign and becoming the dominate palette in overglaze decoration. The decoration was painted not only on a white background, but also on such colored backgrounds as coral, red, light green, caramel, black, etc. During the Qianlong reign, new techniques continued to develop. As a departure from the earlier simple washing method, flower petals in rouge red were outlined. More colors began to appear as the background. The designs also grew increasingly complex, especially in the case of wares with a red or green phoenix tail design as the background (feng wei wen), which was fashionable in the late Qianlong and early Jiaqing period. As this new decorative technique used many imported materials, and it method of mixing pigments was also 'foreign', it acquired the name 'foreign colors' (yang cai) in the Qianlong reign.; 粉彩"},{"label":"Title","value":"A pair of eggshell-thin bowls with famille rose floral motifs"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Materials available through GettDigital encompass a wide range of works, many of which are in the public domain.
