Whilst it is rare in the Chinese tradition of porcelain production to see 429 pieces bearing potters’ or makers’ marks until later in the 19th century, a few examples are known of famille rose pieces signed by Jiang Zhenglong and other artists, all active in the Daoguang period.

A large vase bearing this mark was sold in our New Bond Street rooms, 10 Nov 2011, lot 188. Interestingly, a pair of bowls bearing both Jiang Zhenglong marks to the covers and Daoguang seal marks to the base, sold by Sotheby’s New York on 23 March 2011, lot 792, seem to suggest that this artist may have been active within the official circles.
