Chinese Famille Verte Porcelain Bowl with Qianlong Mark 乾隆款中国五彩瓷碗
Original Presentation Script

This Chinese famille verte porcelain bowl carries a four-character Qianlong reign mark (乾隆年製) on its base, referencing the celebrated 1736–1795 imperial period. The exterior is divided into alternating panels filled with auspicious objects, butterflies, florals, and animated figural or mythical scenes, all rendered in lively overglaze enamels. Inside, a central floral spray decorates the well of the bowl. The mark itself is clearly legible in underglaze blue and written in regular script. Such marks, however, were widely reused on later ceramics as a tribute to the admired Qianlong era. Here, the brightness and uniformity of the enamels, along with the overall surface character, align more closely with late 19th- to early 20th-century revival production than with securely documented 18th-century imperial wares. Condition appears very good, with only light rim wear and minor surface marks visible. As a decorative Qing revival piece, it offers strong visual appeal at a modest collecting level. Should further technical analysis ever support an 18th-century attribution, the value would increase accordingly, but at present it is best regarded as a later homage to the Qianlong style.

Description:

Large Chinese porcelain bowl decorated in overglaze famille verte enamels with alternating panels of auspicious objects, butterflies, floral sprays, and animated figural or mythical animal scenes. The interior features a central floral spray, and the base bears a four-character blue underglaze Qianlong reign mark (乾隆年製) in regular script.     一只大号中国瓷碗,施以五彩釉上彩装饰,碗身绘有交替的吉祥器物、蝴蝶、花卉以及生动的人物或神兽场景。碗心绘折枝花卉,底部以青花书“乾隆年製”四字楷书款。

Assessment:

A visually appealing Chinese porcelain bowl in the famille verte palette, bearing a clearly written Qianlong reign mark (乾隆年製) on the base. While the mark references the 1736–1795 Qianlong period, the brightness of the enamels, the relatively uniform decorative execution, and the overall surface character are more consistent with a late 19th- to early 20th-century revival piece. It is best understood as a decorative work made in homage to earlier Qing dynasty wares rather than a firmly period Qianlong example.     这是一只颇具观赏性的中国五彩瓷碗,底部清晰书写“乾隆年製”青花款。虽款识指向1736–1795年乾隆时期,但从釉彩的鲜亮程度、装饰绘工的程式化特征及整体表面状态来看,更符合19世纪晚期至20世纪初仿古风格作品的特征。整体应理解为向清代早期器物致敬的装饰性作品,而非可以确定为乾隆本朝时期之器。

Condition:

Identification Score: 92%

The form, porcelain body, famille verte overglaze palette, and clearly legible four-character Qianlong mark strongly support identification as a Chinese porcelain bowl in the Qing tradition. The decorative program and materials are consistent with known Chinese production. Remaining uncertainty relates primarily to precise dating rather than object type.     器形、瓷质、五彩釉上彩风格以及清晰可辨的“乾隆年製”四字款,共同有力支持其为中国清代传统体系下的瓷碗。装饰题材与材料均符合中国瓷器特征。剩余不确定性主要集中在具体年代,而非器物类别本身。

Authenticity Score: 50%

The Qianlong reign mark is clearly written and authentic in calligraphic form; however, such marks were frequently applied to later revival wares. The bright enamels, relatively fresh surface, and decorative regularity suggest production in the late 19th or early 20th century rather than the 18th century. Without technical analysis of the body and glaze, attribution to the Qianlong period itself cannot be confirmed.     底部“乾隆年製”款识书写规范,但此类款在后期仿古瓷中亦被广泛使用。釉彩鲜艳、表面状态较新、装饰风格较为程式化,更倾向于19世纪晚期至20世纪初的仿古作品。若无胎釉成分等技术检测,难以确认其为乾隆本朝时期烧造。

Peer Review

Key Visible Evidence

The bowl (Images 1, 2, 4) features a famille verte palette with overglaze enamels, depicting various auspicious objects, mythical creatures, and floral motifs within alternating panels. The interior (Image 5) has a central floral spray. The base (Image 5) clearly shows a four-character blue underglaze mark in regular script (Kaishu). The characters are legible as 乾 (Qian), 隆 (Long), 年 (Nian), 製 (Zhi).

Market and Source Support

Comparison with established reign mark references (RAG_REF_3, RAG_REF_4, RAG_REF_5) confirms the blue underglaze mark on the base (Image 5) is a standard Qianlong (1736-1795) reign mark, reading "乾隆年製" (Qianlong Nian Zhi). While this mark indicates a Qianlong period attribution, it is widely known that such marks were frequently applied to later wares, particularly during the late 19th and 20th centuries, as a tribute or revival style.

Needs Verification

The report's claim that the mark's "exact reading [is] uncertain from photo" is contradicted by the clear legibility of the Qianlong reign mark. Further technical analysis of the porcelain body, glaze, and enamel composition would be needed to definitively confirm if the bowl dates to the Qianlong period or is a later revival piece, as suggested by the report's dating.

Audit Conclusion

The visible evidence supports the identification as a Chinese porcelain bowl with famille verte enamels. The blue underglaze mark on the base is clearly identifiable as a Qianlong reign mark ("乾隆年製"). However, the overall decorative style and enamel application, as noted in the report, are consistent with a later production, likely a late 19th to 20th-century revival piece bearing an apocryphal mark. The report's dating assessment is plausible despite misidentifying the mark as uncertain.
