Item No.: 1060

Name: A large famille rose lotus bowl with a turquoise-glazed interior
Period: Qing dynasty, Qianlong reign
Rim diameter: 23.0 cm

The form unites lotus petals, leaves, and stems into a continuous design. The interior is glazed turquoise, while three layers of red and yellow petals cover the exterior. Bluish-green decoration forms a band of undulating lotus leaves below the rim and stems near the base. The interplay of red, yellow, and green is complemented by the contrast between the sharply articulated petals and the flowing leaf patterns.
