The technical virtuosity of the layered enamels on these bowls exhibits the level of craftsmanship achieved with the support of imperial patronage. Whereas the interior of the bowls is plain with a clear glaze, the exterior displays a profusion of overglaze polychrome enamels on an iron-red ground, with outlines of peonies, hollyhocks, wisteria, and leaves drawn in black and red and filled with color. The bases are clearly marked Kangxi Imperial Manufacture, dating the bowls to a time in which innovation in Chinese porcelain production flourished.
