清嘉慶 粉彩八吉祥紋碗
青花「大清嘉慶年製」篆書款
It is noteworthy that overglaze pastel blue is used around the bowl instead of the traditional underglaze blue. This type of bowl as seen in the present lot was first created during the Qianlong reign and reproduced during successive reign periods. It was likely used as a ritual vessel for Buddhist worship at the Qing Court.
See a similar famille rose 'Bajixiang' bowl, Jiaqing seal mark and of the period, illustrated in The Wonders of the Potter's Palette: Qing Ceramics from the Collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong, 1984, pp.144-145.
Compare with a very similar famille rose 'Bajixiang' bowl, Jiaqing seal mark and of the period, which was sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 4 June 2020, lot 523. A pair of similar famille rose 'Bajixiang' bowls, Jiaqing seal marks and of the period, was also sold at Christie's Paris, 10 December 2021, lot 738.
