Fine Yellow-Ground Red Dragon Bowl, Qianlong Mark & Period



This a beautiful Qianlong Mark and Period bowl with two five-claw iron-red dragons in an fine Imperial yellow ground. The thinly potted bowl has a flared side sitting on a small and tall foot ring. The exterior is painted with two dragons chasing flaming pearls among clouds and above churning waves reserved in a fine yolk-yellow background. The painting was executed with very fine iron-red and white pigment with delicate hair-thin outlines. The base inside the tall foot ring is glazed white and is inscribed with a six-character Qianlong Imperial seal mark in cobalt blue pigment under the glaze. The unglazed foot rim exposes the fine silky smooth porcelain with its edge burned slightly orange color. The interior is glazed white with no decoration. There is visible glaze wear and associated stain inside the bowl from extensive use.
This rare Imperial bowl is in excellent condition except for the wear in the interior. Yellow Imperial porcelains were reserved for use by the Emperors exclusively; therefore, not too many yellow bowls were made and few have survived. This is a very rare example of Imperial yellow bowls from the Qing Dynasty Imperial household.
Size: mouth diameter: 13.3cm, height; 6.8cm
