The 'Baragon Tumed' mark on the base of these two small dishes identifies them as part of a service made to celebrate the marriage of one of the Daoguang emperor's daughters to a Mongolian prince of the Tumed Banner in 1842. Baragon Tumed was the name of the Right or Western Wing of the Tumed Banners, a principality of Southern Mongolia. Compare a pair of small cups from the same service, sold in Christie's New York, 18 March 2016, lot 1628. Compare with a very similar pair of saucer dishes decorated with a design based on the Baragon Tumed service and with Xianfeng marks, illustrated in S. Marchant and Son, , London, 1991, cat.no. 53.
