Elaborately embellished life-like plants in ornate jardinières
(penjing) were made during Qing dynasty as interior
decorations. Champlevé wares were manufactured in
Guangzhou during the Qianlong period, as discussed in
Tributes from Guangdong to the Qing Court, Art Gallery,
the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 1987,
p. 54, where the authors explain how the ‘flourishment of
champlevé enamels in Guangzhou was closely linked to
the needs of the imperial household and was stimulated by
the new foreign champlevé techniques’. Penjing plants with
champlevé jardinières were also documented to have been
typically made in the Yangzhou area.
