The colour of the pink enamel on the back of this dish was originally introduced under the Kangxi emperor (1662-1722) when the artisans in the imperial workshops making glass and enamel wares succeeded in creating the colour rose pink copying the recipe employed by European artisans which involved a mixture of fine gold particles, stannous and stannic chlorides with alkali and tin. Chinese artisans perfected pink enamel by grinding ruby glass and dispersing it in a clear, colourless enamel making it easier to apply the enamel evenly on a surface and achieving an even tone in the firing. Few ruby-glazed and ruby-backed dishes and cups made under the Kangxi emperor survive, and the pink colour and glaze was perfected under the Yongzheng emperor (1722-1735) quickly gaining in popularity.
Ruby-backed porcelains with Qianlong marks are rare. It appears that only one other ruby-backed famille rose dish decorated with a European subject and inscribed with a Qianlong seal mark is known, formerly in the collection of E.T.Chow, sold Christie's Hong Kong, 31 May 2017, lot 3029.
