If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's.

说明:Of elegant proportions, regal design and exceptional surface texture, the present bowls exemplify the heights of imperial wares produced at Jingdezhen for use at the court of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795).
Featuring five stylised roundels of phoenix in a rich underglaze copper-red palette, the present design evokes the splendour of early Qing textiles and finds its origins in a beloved group of bowls of Kangxi mark and period of smaller diameter and steeper walls. Compare an example from the E. T. Chow, T. Y. Chao, Mayuyama and Ise Collections, most recently sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 9th September 2025, lot 5099; and another sold in these rooms, 9th November 2011, lot 416. While examples of this design are themselves rare, examples like the present, of wider rounded form and Qianlong seal mark, appear to be even rarer.
For other Qianlong examples of the present design, compare a bowl from the Jingguantang Collection of T.T. Tsui (1941–2010), included in The Tsui Museum of Chinese Art. Chinese Ceramics IV: Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1995, pl. 81, and sold at Christie’s New York, 18th September 1997, lot 166; and a pair from the Collection of E. T. Chow, sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 25th November 1980, lot 121, alongside the aforementioned Kangxi prototype, lot 113, and a Daoguang interpretation, lot 122.
