This porcelain bowl is painted in the famille rose palette of red, green and yellow enamels in a white background.Qing wares were often made in the style of Ming wares. Wares such this example illustrate the turbulent period of the transition from Ming to Qing rule at the end of the 17th century. A period that was marked by the collapse of the imperial kilns, growing domestic interest in literary subjects and the customisation of private kilns for new markets.
