A FINE AND EXTRAORDINARY IMPERIAL
RUBY RED-GROUND FALANGCAI ‘DOUBLE
LOTUS’ BOWL
KANGXI BLUE-ENAMELLED FOUR-CHARACTER MARK WITHIN A
DOUBLE SQUARE AND OF THE PERIOD, CIRCA 1722

The bowl is superbly potted with thin rounded sides rising from a straight foot
to a slightly flared rim, exquisitely painted on the exterior with enamels of rich,
vibrant tones depicting a continuous lotus pond, featuring large lotus blooms
in yellow, pink, blue and greenish white, including three double-headed
blossoms, all supported on slender studded stalks bearing broad lotus leaves
brilliantly enamelled in green, some of which decorated with pink and yellow
on the furled edges, others with signs of wilting characterised by brown areas
surrounding insect-eaten holes. The blooms are interspersed with smaller
buds and water reeds in blue, all reserved against a dazzling ruby-red ground.
The interior and base are left plain. The base is enamelled in blue with a
Kangxi yuzhi mark.
