3051-三义楼大碗 big bowl

“Sanyi Lou Restaurant” blue and white large bowl from the Qing Dynasty, with a diameter of 22 cm. The exterior of the bowl is painted with blue and white figures, while the interior bottom features a blue and white landscape. Near the rim on the inside, a circle of auspicious fruit patterns is painted. The blue and white color has a blue hue with flashes of gray, and it stands on a high foot ring. Porcelain from the Qing Dynasty bearing business names is extremely rare, indicating that the restaurant was willing to commission branded porcelain, which demonstrates their commitment to and pride in the quality of their dishes. In the late Ming and mid-Qing periods, well-known commercial brands emerged among the common folk, such as “Hu Wenming” for copper processing, “Bao Tiancheng” for rhinoceros horn, “Jiang Qianli” for lacquerware, and Qing Dynasty brands like “Tong Ren Tang” and “Sheng Xi Fu”. This “Sanyi Lou Restaurant” bowl is both an antique art piece and a tangible proof of the socio-economic life in the Qing Dynasty.

“三义楼菜馆”青花大海碗，清代。22公分口径。大碗外壁绘青花人物，碗内底绘青花山水，内壁近碗口处绘瑞果纹一圈，青花发色蓝中闪灰，高圈足。清代有类似生意字号的瓷器非常稀少，愿意定烧品牌名字瓷器，说明这家菜馆对自家菜肴品质的坚持和骄傲。晚明和清中期民间出现了知名商业字号，如明代治铜的“胡文明”，治犀角的“鲍天成”，漆器的“江千里”，清代“同仁堂”，“盛锡福”…这件“三义楼菜馆”大碗，既是一件古董艺术品，又是一件清代社会经济生活历史的实证。
