Antique Qing Dynasty Chinese Porcelain Bowl Amsterdams Bont, 1730ca

About the Item

Sharing with you this very nicely Dutch decorated Chinese Porcelain Yongzheng bowl. What you see is a Jingdezhen made porcelain bowl from around 1710-1730. Later decorated in Holland. There is also anhua (hidden decoration) on the outside wall. Although it is generally believed in Europe that the subject matter of this scene refers to an erotic story of stolen fruit, the fruit depicted with a large round form could be representing oranges instead of cherries or apples. According to some authors, the couple could represent Prince William IV of Orange and his wife Anne, daughter of George II of England, and the shared oranges. Most likely it is a combination of those two elements. It would indicate their marital harmony and also the harmony between them and the Dutch people. This particular interpretation could explain a variation of ‘The Cherry Picker or *The Apple Picker design shown on five Chinese punchbowls, a teapot, two milk jugs and a bowl decorated in Holland in the mid-eighteenth century with the scene depicting only the lady holding the fruit basket; these are found in the Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum. It has been suggested that this scene could be an allusion to the years 1751-1759 when Anne was left alone as Regent for her son William y symbolized by the orange fruit. A bowl decorated with a comparable overpainted scene o the amorous couple, and a similar border of pending lappets below the inner rim, is found in the Museu-Escola de Artes Decorativas Portuguesas in Lisbon (inv. no. 594)7; another is illustrated by Hartog. For further examples, see the following entries Nos. 68, 69 and 70. A different version of this scene, which includes a European town with mountains and birds in flight in the distance to the left of the couple, is shown on pieces comprising a tea service painted in red, blue, green and purple enamels applied in Holland in ca. 1740, which is found in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.9 The bowl, teabowls and coffee cup from this service, are further decorated on the interior with a miniature landscape scene of ducks swimming in the foreground of a village. A bowl decorated with a similar scene is in the Reeves Center Collection at Washington and Lee University.10 saucer decorated with a similar scene to the one in the Centraal.
