This porcelain bowl, decorated in the famille-rose technique, features a soft yellow ground finely adorned with branches of pale pink peonies and plum blossoms, accompanied by delicate green foliage and intricately detailed tree bark. The vivid floral motifs are beautifully balanced with the gentle background color, highlighting the precision of the brushwork and the refinement of the composition. The base bears a four-character mark, “Yongzheng Nian Zhi” (Made in the Yongzheng period), written in underglaze blue within a double square, a style of mark also seen on vessels produced at Guyuexuan during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor (1723–1735) of the Qing dynasty. The elegant form and graceful decoration embody the advanced craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility characteristic of imperial porcelain of the period.
