JIAQING SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN IRON RED AND OF THE

poem followed by a Jiaqing dingsi cyclical date, corresponding
to 1797, the characters yuzhi ‘Imperially Made’, and two seals Jia
and Qing. The medallions are reserved on a lime-green ground
decorated with floral scrolls, between rows of ruyi-heads and petal
lappets. The mouth and foot are enamelled with rouge florettes
separated by blue scrolls. The cover is similarly decorated with
lotus blooms on a lime ground, surmounted by a bud finial
decorated in iron red and gilt. The interiors and base are enamelled
turquoise.
