Chinese Blue & White Porcelain Bowl – Six-Character Yongzheng Reign Mark – Fish Rider & Boys Motif

An intriguing Chinese blue-and-white glazed porcelain bowl featuring unusual traditional figural decoration and a six-character Yongzheng reign mark on the underside.

The interior depicts a figure riding a large fish or carp, while the exterior features groups of youthful figures rendered in underglaze cobalt blue.

The bowl\'s distinctive imagery, visible glaze crazing, and historical reign inscription make it an interesting piece for collectors of Chinese ceramics and Asian decorative arts.

The underside bears a six-character Chinese inscription in underglaze cobalt blue, enclosed within a double Qing Yongzheng Nian Zhi

Translation: \"Made during the Yongzheng reign of the Great Qing dynasty.\"

The inscription consists of:

• 大清 (Da Qing) – Great Qing dynasty

• 雍正 (Yongzheng) – Yongzheng emperor

• 年製 (Nian Zhi) – Made during the reign

The Yongzheng emperor ruled China from 1723 to 1735.

IMPORTANT DATING CLARIFICATION: The inscription has been transcribed and translated, but the presence of a Yongzheng reign mark does not independently establish that this bowl was manufactured during the Yongzheng period. Chinese porcelain makers sometimes reproduced earlier imperial reign marks on later pieces. The actual manufacturing date has not been independently authenticated.

  COLLECTOR\'S NOTE

  This unusual porcelain bowl combines traditional Chinese figural artwork with a six-character imperial reign inscription.

  Its exact age and period of manufacture remain undetermined. The Yongzheng mark is presented as an identifying feature of the object, not as a guarantee of eighteenth-century manufacture.
