no. 10, where the author noted that a decree issued in the eleventh year of
Yongzheng (corresponding to 1733) instructed Nian Xiyao, Minister of the
Imperial Household, to send `the twelve colours of chrysanthemum dishes,
one of each colour, for the inspection of the permanent guardian of the
treasury and chief eunuch Samuha.' The decree further mentions `fourty
pieces to be fired of every type according to the samples.'

Yongzheng chrysanthemum dishes in ruby-purple enamel are extremely
rare. A similar Yongzheng-marked dish in this colour from the H. M. Knight
collection was sold at Sotheby’s London, 12 May 1970, lot 90, and another
from the Hall Family Collection, dated to Yongzheng-early Qianlong
period, was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 2 May 2000, lot 550. For other
Yongzheng-marked chrysanthemum dishes sold at auctions, see one
in café-au-lait, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 1 June 2016, lot 3215, two
from J. J. Lally & Co., sold at Christie’s New York, 23 March 2023, one in
powder-blue enamel, lot 911, the other in purple enamel, lot 912.
