Catalogue Note
This delicately enameled bowl is an extremely rare example of famille rose porcelain carrying a yuzhi mark in underglaze blue. It
would have been specially produced at the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen for court use as the phrase yuzhi [‘made to imperial order’]
suggests. The underglaze blue mark, applied before firing at the Jingdezhen kilns, follows here the style of marking practiced at
the Beijing enameling workshops, which added yuzhi marks in overglaze enamels.
