A Chinese porcelain ‘boy and chicken’ bowl, 19th century, painted in famille verte enamels with a young boy approaching a cockerel in a rocky landscape filled with flowering peony blossoms issuing from leafy stems, the exterior bearing an inscription of a poem written by the Qianlong emperor, the poem dated to the bingshen year (1776) and followed by two iron-red seal marks reading qian and long, painted underglaze blue artemisia leaf mark within double-ring border to base, 21.5cm diameter Note: The poem written on this bowl was composed by the Qianlong emperor in 1776. It names the boy as Jia Chang (b.713), a child prodigy that was trained from the age of thirteen to fight cockerels for the Xuanzong emperor (713-56). The boy is depicted as being alert and standing on his tiptoes, which forms the rebus 'qiao zu er dai', which means ‘to expect something to happen soon’. 品相報告 Condition Report: Nibbles and small grazes to the rim. Large areas of repair and restoration to the body, with hairline cracks present in several places. Some light wear to enamels. Examined under UV. Please contact the department for additional images.
