The pair to the present lot, from the same collection, was sold in these Rooms, The Imperial Sale, 27 April 1997, lot 60.
Compare with a smaller chrysanthemum-shaped dish illustrated by Hugh Moss, By Imperial Command, pl. 64, where the author attributes the enamelling to the Beijing Palace Workshop.
A pair of similar dishes but of smaller size, from the T.Y. Chao Collection was exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Chingtechen Porcelain of the Ming and Ch'ing Dynasties, Catalogue, 1978, no. 92, and sold in Hong Kong, 19 May 1987, lot 313. Compare also the smaller dish from the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, pl. 223, col. pl. 52; and a pair from the S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, with a similar treatment of the stamens included in the Min Chiu Society Silver Jubilee Exhibition, Anthology of Chinese Art, 1985, pl. 181, one of the pair is illustrated in the Catalogue, vol. I, col. pl. 96. Cf. also a similarly decorated dish with a moulded well but a straight rim from the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, illustrated by He Li, Chinese Ceramics, A New Comprehensive Survey, no. 655.
The enamelled peonies compare favourably to a vase decorated with similar flowers in shaded tones of iron-red and pink enamels in the Palace Museum Collection illustrated by Wang-go Weng and Yang Boda, The Palace Museum: Peking, pl. 39.
(US$90,000-120,000)
