Specifications: Height: 8 cm, Mouth Diameter: 11 cm
Reign Mark: "Da Qing Yongzheng Nian Zhi" (Made in the Yongzheng Reign of the Great Qing) in six-character, two-line regular script within a double circle in underglaze blue on the base.
The bowl features a dignified and elegant form, following the classic palace bowl style. It has a slightly flared rim, a deep and rounded belly, and a ring foot. Its lines flow seamlessly from top to bottom, converging in a single, graceful movement that showcases the characteristically precise proportions and timeless beauty of Yongzheng porcelain. The clay body is exceptionally finely levigated, resulting in a compact, fine-grained texture of appropriate weight that feels smooth and warm to the touch. The glaze is even, pure, white, and lustrous, with a rich, unctuous quality resembling solidified fat, achieving a pinnacle of craftsmanship described as "flawless white jade." This provides a perfect canvas for the vibrant doucai decoration.
The exterior is fully adorned with a doucai design of bats and clouds, dense in composition yet orderly, rich in auspicious meaning:
Primary Motif: Several iron-red bats are depicted in varied postures, fluttering gracefully among multicolored auspicious clouds. The bats are painted in iron-red pigment, which exhibits a vivid, pure color with a slight orange undertone, deep and glossy like jujube skin, infusing the scene with a warm and propitious atmosphere.
Secondary Patterns: The bats are interspersed with auspicious cloud motifs, their outlines drawn in underglaze blue and filled with green, yellow, purple, and other low-temperature enamels. The clouds are rendered in flowing, expansive forms with clear layering. The enamel colors are bright, clear, and translucent, creating a pleasing contrast of warm and cool tones with the iron-red bats.
Doucai Technique: This bowl perfectly embodies the essence of "doucai" (contrasting colors). All decorative outlines were first precisely drawn with extremely fine, pale underglaze blue lines. After an initial high-temperature firing, the iron-red and other colored enamels were applied within these outlines in separate steps, followed by a final low-temperature firing in the enamel kiln. The serene elegance of the underglaze blue and the brilliant beauty of the overglaze enamels compete in harmony. The color transitions are natural, and the filling of the enamels is precise, with no bleeding, demonstrating the unparalleled rigorous standards and extraordinary skill of the Yongzheng imperial kilns.
The decorative theme is imbued with profound auspicious symbolism. The "bat" (fu), homophonous with the word for "blessing" or "good fortune" (also fu), is a primary symbol of happiness in traditional Chinese culture. The "auspicious clouds" (xiangyun) represent heavenly omens, harmony, and propitious energy. Their combination forms the classic imagery of "boundless good fortune" and "enduring blessings," reflecting the deep-seated courtly wish for happiness, peace, and health. It is a model Yongzheng piece that successfully appeals to both refined and popular tastes, combining artistic interest with meaningful symbolism.
The six-character Yongzheng reign mark in regular script within the underglaze-blue double circle on the base is executed with neat, orderly, and methodically precise calligraphy. The style sits between Song-dynasty regular script and the later imperial examination style (guangeti), with strokes that are upright and powerful, distinct in their start and finish. The cobalt blue is pure and deep, stable under the glaze. This mark style is one of the core standards for authenticating Yongzheng imperial porcelain, renowned for its rigor, considered supreme among Ming and Qing imperial marks.
Yongzheng doucai is celebrated as "the most elegant and beautiful of polychrome porcelains." Its achievement is praised as "incorporating ancient and contemporary styles, synthesizing new ideas, and achieving exquisite skill." This bowl is a perfect embodiment of this ideal.
Artistic Value: It combines exceptionally fine body and glaze, cleverly balanced form, harmoniously auspicious decoration, and supremely skilled polychrome technique. It represents the highest standard of doucai craftsmanship from the Yongzheng imperial kilns. Its artistry far surpasses its utilitarian function.
Historical Value: As a direct product of the Yongzheng Emperor's personal artistic taste and exacting aesthetic demands, it is an important physical artifact for studying the courtly aesthetics, porcelain manufacturing techniques, and auspicious culture of the Yongzheng period.
Market Value: In the auction market, Yongzheng doucai imperial bowls in excellent condition, with exquisite decoration and standard marks, have always been focal points for collector competition. Their market value typically resides in the high-end range, serving as an important benchmark within the Chinese polychrome porcelain collection system.
In summary, this Yongzheng doucai bat and cloud bowl is more than an imperial vessel; it is a "Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings" painting rendered on porcelain with glazes and colors. It concentrates the technical essence, aesthetic pursuit, and auspicious vision of a prosperous dynasty, remaining ever fresh and radiant through the ages.
