Stunning, Chinese Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Reign Period, Yongzheng three abundant porcelain bowl. Deep curvature, of a shallow vessel, round straight upward to form the rim, flaring wide opening rim, with a slightly round raised footing. All reserved hand painted ornamentations are rendered in clean white underglaze base color which contrast against the cobalt blue fine color. The exterior adorned with abundant ripe lychee tree interspersed with fresh foliage, enclosed with double fine blue ring lines on the upper mouth rim. Repeating geometrically pattern decorated on the lower belly enclosed with double fine blue ring lines on the foot base rim. The Lychee or Lychee is best known for its white juicy fruit from late summer; the flesh of the fruit surrounds a large, gnarled kernel. The latter wish gives it a role in the marriage celebration. If lychees are combined with water chestnuts they symbolize cleverness: ling li. The fruits are considered yang in traditional medicine and so are eaten to offset an excess of yin. A characteristic heaped and piled effect, the underglaze grayish-blue concentrates in certain areas, bubbling through the surface of the glaze and turning a deep blue-black. This inadvertently gave texture, energy, and shading to the design.

Mark on under base, a vertical six underglaze blue script characters reign mark, enclosed within double fine rings, Yongzheng Reign Period of Great Qing Dynasty.
