Description:
Two associated Dayazhai turquoise-ground cups, Guangxu four-character iron red mark and of the period, 9.4 cm diam., 9.1 cm diam. (2). Provenance: Mossgreen, Melbourne, 18 June 2012, lot 8. The Dayazhai wares were amongst a number of new imperial designs of ceramics which emerged during the late Qing dynasty. Attesting to the Empress Dowager Cixi's personal taste, the main Dayazhai pattern consists of five different designs, apparently two for spring and one each for the other three seasons. The turquoise ground with enamelled huamei amongst rose and wisteria, as seen in this lot, is one of the spring patterns. This design continued to grace some of the Guangxu wares, with iron-red Guangxu marks, as does the current lot
