This plate, crafted at an official kiln during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, is one of the pinnacles of Chinese ceramic history. Its most captivating feature is the elegant and delicate **peach bloom glaze**. This glaze, highly regarded in the official kilns of the Yongzheng period, exhibits a soft reddish hue reminiscent of the tender beauty of peach blossoms in spring. The production of this glaze required extremely precise control of temperature and oxidation-reduction environments during firing, highlighting the exceptional skills of the craftsmen.
On the back of the plate, the inscription "Made in the Yongzheng period of the Great Qing" is written in underglaze blue, signifying that it is a product of an official kiln. The inscription’s meticulous calligraphy and brushwork further enhance the possibility of its authenticity. The plate’s form is well-balanced and remarkably thin, faithfully reflecting the aesthetic standards of the Yongzheng period. Additionally, the glossy finish of the glaze exudes the refined tastes of the imperial court culture of that time.
As for its condition, it is generally excellent, with no significant damages or noticeable flaws. The glaze retains its luster, showing minimal wear despite its age. While there are minor scratches and signs of aging, these details add to its value as an antique. This plate stands out not only as a piece for aesthetic appreciation but also for its significant value as a collectible work of art.
