The hallmark, Qingyitang zhi, refers to the 'Hall of Blessings and Correctness', and is associated with porcelains produced during the Yongzheng to Jiaqing periods. For a related famille-rose bowl with the same hallmark, but decorated with a millefleur pattern reserved on a gold ground, see one illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum. Porcelains with Cloisonné Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 184, where it is attributed to the Jiaqing period.
Compare a closely related Qingyitang hall marked bowl of similar decoration, previously exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and sold at Christie's New York, 17th September 2010, lot 1487.
