Qianlong bowl
The bowl is decorated in the famile rose (fencai) palette with a beautiful "Nine Peaches" (jiu shou tao) motif – large, ripe peaches in shades of pink and red, hanging from gnarled brown branches with green leaves and small pink blossoms. This design is a classic auspicious symbol in Chinese art, representing longevity and immortality.
The porcelain body is very white and glossy, typical of high-quality pieces.
On the base, there is a square blue-and-white underglaze reign mark inside a double square border. The four characters read 大清乾隆年製 (Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi), meaning "Made in the Qianlong reign of the Great Qing Dynasty" (1736–1795).
The overall style, colors, and painting technique are characteristic of Qing-dynasty imperial wares from the Qianlong period, though many later reproductions and 20th-century copies also carry this mark.
碗采用粉彩(fencai)工艺绘制,主题为经典的“九桃”图(九寿桃),饱满成熟的桃子以粉红和朱红上色,悬挂在苍劲的褐色枝干上,配以绿叶和小朵粉花。此图案在中国传统艺术中是典型的吉祥寓意,象征长寿与仙寿。
胎体白釉莹润,釉面光亮,品质上乘。
碗底心有青花双方框方款,款识为六字楷书:大清乾隆年製(意为“大清乾隆年制”,即1736–1795年乾隆朝御用器)。
