A small blue and white 'lotus' dish, Mark and period of Yongzheng | 清雍正 青花纏枝花卉圖盤《大清雍正年製》款

The present dish exemplifies the fine potting, skillful painting and firing of bright underglaze blue designs typical of the Yongzheng period (1723-1734). Compare two other dishes of this design from the collection of Quincy Chuang, sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 9th April 2024, lots 3711 and 3712; three similar examples included by Marchant in their Exhibition of Qing Mark and Period Blue and White, S. Marchant & Son, London, 1984, cat. nos 20 and 21; and a closely related dish decorated with a seven flower-head variation of this design, preserved in the Nanjing Museum, Nanjing included in Xu Huping, ed., The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, p. 123

Also compare similar dishes of this design but rendered in the doucai palette, including one example included in An Anthology of Chinese Ceramics, Min Chiu Society and Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong, 1980, cat. no. 148; and another from the Yidetang Collection, sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 12 October 2021, lot 29.

本品充分體現雍正朝（1723–1734年）一貫的製瓷水準，無論於器型之規整、繪工之嫻熟，或釉下青花之清亮鮮明，皆屬其時期御窯佳作之典型風範。可比較莊貴侖珍藏中兩件相同紋樣之盤，曾售於香港蘇富比，2024年4月9日，編號3711與3712；另有三件相類器皿，曾展於馬錢，見《清代官窯青花瓷器》，馬錢，倫敦，1984年，編號20與21。另見南京博物院藏一例，所飾花卉紋樣略異，採七朵花構圖，著錄於徐湖平主編《中國清代官窯瓷器》，上海，2003年，頁123。

此外，亦可參考以鬥彩技法繪製相同紋飾之盤，錄在《敏求精捨展覽：中國陶瓷雅集》，香港藝術館，香港，1980年，編號148；以及藝德堂收藏之一例，售於香港拍場，2021年10月12日，編號29。
