Antique Chinese Famille Rose Lobed Bowl | Gilt Enamel Figures & Peaches | Quin

Offered is a finely painted Chinese Famille Rose porcelain lobed bowl, decorated in vibrant enamel colors with figural scenes, peaches, florals, scrolling foliage, and gilt highlights. The form features softly scalloped sides and a gently raised foot, giving the piece strong visual movement and balance.

The interior and exterior are richly detailed with traditional auspicious motifs, including peaches symbolizing longevity and finely rendered courtly figures within shaped cartouches. The palette displays classic Famille Rose tones—pink, green, yellow, iron red, and black outlines—enhanced with hand-applied gilding along the rim and borders.

The base bears a red square seal mark, applied under glaze. The mark appears honorific in style, commonly seen on decorative wares produced in the late Qing to early Republic period, rather than a guarantee of imperial manufacture. Such marks were often used to evoke earlier reigns and are widely accepted in the collector market when described appropriately.

Condition:

Good antique condition overall. There is expected wear to the gilt, particularly along the rim, along with minor enamel wear and age-related surface marks, consistent with age and use. No cracks observed; please review all close-up photos for exact condition.

Age & Attribution:

Based on decoration, palette, form, and mark style, the bowl is believed to date to the late 19th to early 20th century (Qing dynasty style / early Republic period). It is offered as antique Chinese export or domestic decorative porcelain, with no over-attribution claimed.

A highly decorative and collectible piece, ideal for Asian porcelain collectors, scholars' cabinets, or display in a curated interior.
