PROVENANCE

Dish on the right: Marchant, London, 2005
Dish on the left: B. and V. Lake Collection, no. 202; The Antique
Porcelain Co. Ltd, London (according to labels)

The B. and V. Lake Collection, as indicated in the collection label on
one of the current dishes, may possibly refer to the collection of Mr. and
Mrs. Brigadier Lake of Wendlebury House, who were active members
of the Oriental Ceramic Society in the late 1940s to early 1950s and
acquired pieces mainly through London dealers Bluett’s and Sparks.

The auspicious design moulded on the current dishes is extremely rare.
These dishes were further applied with the attractive bright lime-green
enamel which was only developed during the Yongzheng and early
Qianlong period. According to Rose Kerr in Chinese Cearmics: Porcelain
of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, London, 1986, p. 91, this uncommon
enamel was only produced for a short duration because it was very
difficult and dangerous toproduce. It was achieved by adding copper
to the bright yellow lead-antimony enamel, and opacifying the mixture
with added zinc.
