A very fine and rare famille rose 'poppy' bowl, China, underglaze blue Yongzheng six-charcter mark and period.  Photo Nagel Auktionen

The finely-potted semi-eggshell bowl with rounded sides, exquisitely enamelled on the exterior with one pink, one white and one iron-red poppy, borne on long bristled stems with veined leaves emerging from the foot and around the body in varying shades of bluish and yellowish- green, the interior enamelled with three small asymmetrically-arranged flower heads - D. 9,2 cm. Estimate 50 000/80 000 €

An identical bowl was exhibited in Christie's London, 'Important Chinese ceramics from the Robert Chang Collection', 1993, catalogue no. 89. Splendour of Ancient Chinese Art, Selections from the Collections of T.T. Tsui Galleries of Chinese Art Worldwide, 1996, no. 73. The Tsui Museum of Art, Chinese Ceramics IV, Qing Dynasty, 1995, no. 149.

A single cup of closely related pattern, but with flared rather than rounded sides is illustrated by Rosemary Scott in the Catalogue 'Qing Enamelled Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art', no. 821 where she also compares it to no. 878 which is not illustrated.
