A FAMILLE ROSE BOWL
Hongxian mark, early 20th century Of conical form and raised on a high foot, the exterior delicately painted with peonies emerging from behind branches of flowering plum blossom extending over the edge of the rim, the rim and top of the foot decorated with a band of gilding, the base with a blue enamel four-character seal mark. 10cm (4in) diam.
Provenance: From the collection of Barry C Tattenhall (1907-1989), thence by descent to the present owners. Barry Tattenhall was a well-regarded collector of Chinese porcelain and member of the Oriental Ceramic Society and lent porcelain to their 1950 Polychrome Exhibition and 1964 Qing Exhibition. David and Jellinek (2011, Provenance. Collectors, Dealers and Scholars: Chinese Ceramics in Britain and America) describe him as "ahead of his time with his interest in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Imperial porcelain". A number of pieces from his collection were sold at Sotheby's on 12 December 1989.

The Hongxian period was extremely short lasting only 83 days between 1915 and 1916 at the very end of the Qing Dynasty. The mark was continued beyond this short reign. One piece in the Palace Museum has an underglaze blue mark with the strongest claim to being of the period. A conical bowl of similar form dating to the Republic period but with an iron red Jurentang zhi mark is preserved in the collection of the Tianjin Museum.
