Jiaqing Six-Character Mark
This bowl has the deep rounded sides resting on a short foot with the exterior decorated in gilt and famille-verte， showing a continuous scene depicting groups of boys engaging in various leisurely pursuits in a fenced garden， including one holding a long lotus stem， another washing his hands in a large basin， some gathered in groups， the figures dressed in loose robes and rendered with joyful expressions， the setting laden with large plantain leaves， craggy rockwork and overhanging pine trees with a mountainous background. The foot is bordered with a gilt scroll band， all against a warm coral-red ground， the white base inscribed in underglaze blue with a six-character seal mark.
