About the Item

An altogether fabulous bowl! The hand-painted Famille Rose decoration on this bowl is exquisite and vibrant. Painted on the outside of the bowl are superb pink and white peonies and beautiful clusters of plum tree flowers painted in cheerful pale yellow and pink. The colors are heightened by the green leaves that surround them. On the inside, we see lifelike carp exquisitely painted in pink and orange swimming among stylized lotus. In Chinese tradition, fish swimming among lotus is a wish for continued success. They are so well painted that we can almost feel them move around in the bowl. They look or swim upward, symbolizing the owner's success and upward movement in society. Above the fish, the border on the rim shows clouds on turquoise ground and waterlilies with waves on iron red ground. Dimensions: 15.75" diameter x 6.75" tall. Condition: Current condition is excellent. Two 3" hairlines were impeccably invisibly restored. The bottom of the well has original slight firing imperfections visible only if one enlarges image #3. Price: $9,700 Background of Famille Rose Chinese porcelain: Famille Rose porcelain was created in early 18th century China during the reign of The Kangxi Emporer (1654–1722). It is defined by the presence of pink color overglaze enamels. We see various enamel colors on this bowl, from pale pink to deep red. See P B Welch's "Chinese Art A Guide to Motifs and Visual Imagery" for more information on Chinese goldfish, peonies, and plum blossoms. Of particular interest are the following: pages 28 and 98, Goldfish... their name is a homophone for the two symbolic components of material success in Chinese life: "gold with" ( jin) and "jade" (yu). When combined with other elements, they symbolize endless good wishes and congratulations. And on pages 34 and 38, Love of peonies for their bold size and colors is a Chinese tradition. They symbolize riches and honor. The flowering plum is the first fruit tree to bloom at the end of the winter. Chinese tradition associates it with endurance, hope, beauty, purity, and the transitory nature of life.
