LITERATURE

Asia Society, Archives of the Chinese Society of America, XIII, New
York, 1959, p. 49
Cécile and Michel Beurdele, Giuseppe Castiglione: A Jesuit Painter at
the Court of the Chinese Emperors, London, 1972, pl. XX, 1
A Connoisseur’s Guide to Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1984,
p. 240, pls. 94-95

Very few dishes with this particular subject have been published.
A similar famille rose dish dated to the Qianlong period, painted with
the same subject but with the figures and objects in reverse order, is
illustrated by J. Ayers in The Baur Collection: Chinese Ceramics, vol. 4,
no. A 608. A variant of this motif is seen on a famille rose dish dated to
the Yongzheng period, in the collection of Toguri Museum, Tokyo, and
illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Toguri Collection, Tokyo, 1988,
pp. 122 and 185, pl. 154. On the Toguri dish, which is perhaps the
prototype of the Baur and present dishes, the male and female figures
are depicted standing in front of the large porcelain vessels and other
objects, without the company of a little boy.
