Subject:Jiaqing Bowl with Mark
Posted By: loulou11 Tue, Nov 02, 2010 IP: 72.215.160.134 Hi there forum friends. Hoping to get some opinions on this lovely bowl with a Jiaqing mark. It is a gentle hexagon form with each panel decorated with a combination of different flowers and birds. I would like opinions about if you believe it is of the period or later. Thanks! I will post more pictures of the details. |

Posted By: Bill H Thu, Nov 04, 2010 In my opinion, the bowl may date to around the end of the Qing dynasty. The mark (shown upside down) is written fairly well, although I believe period Jiaqing marks are known to come in a wider variety of calligraphic styles than those of the preceding Qianlong era. However, the manner in which the birds are painted appears to differ from what I'm used to seeing for the period. The feathers are outlined fairly well but seem to be missing the dots that usually highlight them. This is particularly conspicuous on the phoenix on your bowl. Here's an image of a chamber pot from circa 1800 that shows what I mean in the depiction of a bird that somewhat resembles the one in the next to the last of your pictures. |

Posted By: Cal Thu, Nov 04, 2010 The decoration is quite painterly and appealing, but from the enamel colors and the secondary quality of the porcelain I would guess made no earlier than late 19th century, and possibly early Republic period (ca. 1916-20). It is possible that the decorator had worked at Imperial wares at Jingdezhen, but the materials available to him did not measure up to pre-1870 resources. |

Posted By: Loulou11 Fri, Nov 05, 2010 Thank you for your thoughts. I certainly appreciate your observations and feedback. I have attached some additional examples of some bowls of this exact form and size from this period. The mark is very well executed as well and although it is hard to tell in the photos because they are so magnified the birds are actually tiny so the detail on this piece is incredible. |

Posted By: loulou11 Fri, Nov 05, 2010 Oh and sorry Bill for not rotating my photo of the mark . . . I know you must find that monumentally irritating. I was aware that it was upside down but just feeling lazy. Just for you: |
