This superb bowl is a tour de force of the decorator's art and would have been extremely time-consuming to produce, requiring a painter of exceptional skill. Even with the resources available to the Qing emperors, it is not surprising that very few pieces decorated with this complex design were made, and only a handful have survived. The dense arrangement of various flowers decorating this bowl is known as wanhuajin (myriad flower brocade), as well as baihuadi (ground of one hundred flowers), and, according to T.T. Bartholomew in Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, 2006, p.146, during the Qing dynasty the design conveyed the hope that the Qing dynasty "would last as long as flowers continue to bloom."

The millefleurs design first appears during the Yongzheng period, as represented by a small bowl in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Porcelains with Cloisonné Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, Hong Kong, 1999, p.18, no.15. During the Qianlong period a variation of this design appeared, with the design becoming more dense, allowing no visible white space between the flowers and leaves, and with the addition of iron-red. This version of the pattern is well represented by a large Qianlong-marked vase in the Musée Guimet, illustrated by Beurdeley and Raindre, Qing Porcelain - Famille Verte, Famille Rose, London, 1987, pl.165.

This version of the design, with its rich interweaving of the flowers to form a harmonious overall pattern, continued to be admired during the reign of the Jiaqing emperor as seen on the present bowl. See two fine examples: a vase with flowers and dragon handles in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Lord Jiaqing and the Journey to Taiwan: A Special Exhibition on Cultural Artifacts of the Qing Emperor Renzong, Taipei, 2016, pp.290-291, pl.III-38; and another Jiaqing-marked vase in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated by Zhou Lili, Shanghai Museum Collections Research Series of: Qing Yongzheng - Xuantong Porcelain Kiln, Shanghai, 2014, p.120, pl.3-83. A pair of cups with this design and iron-red Jiaqing marks from the Edward T. Chow Collection was illustrated by Cecile and Michael Beurdeley in La Ceramique Chinoise, Fribourg, 1974, no.151, later sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, The Edward T. Chow Collection, Part One, 25 November 1989, lot 171, and again at Christie's Hong Kong, 29-30 April 2002, lot 708. Another pair of similar cups was sold at Christie's New York, 21 September 2004, lot 343, and a single cup at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 May 2008, lot 1751.

口沿微微外撇、施金彩,弧腹下斂,圈足,造型典雅,底青花書「大清嘉慶年製」篆書款,外壁粉彩繪「百花不落地」,包括牡丹、荷花、梅花、菊花、月季、牽牛、玉蘭等諸般四時花卉,用於宮中帝王賞花時節,寓意百花獻瑞,盛世長春。此式瓷器需要內務府造辦處繪官樣,設計出百花齊聚之畫稿,上呈皇帝審批后,再交付御窯廠作為粉本,可想而知燒造不多,異常珍貴。

百花不落地瓷器始燒於雍正一朝,西洋多喜用「millefleurs」(萬花)稱號,然清宮之「錦地夾彩」、「萬花錦」或「百花地」等稱謂似乎更能表現花卉相互堆疊、不留空隙之圖象布局。雍正夾彩器極之稀罕,並不常見,參考清宮舊藏一件小碗,見《故宮博物院藏文物大系:琺琅彩.粉彩》,香港,1999年,頁18,編號15,可發現彼時花葉之間還會留下些白地襯托。及至乾隆朝,在康雍兩世製瓷基礎上更發展至極致,各色花卉紋飾已然將底釉遮住,正式成爲「百花不落地」,也開始在此類裝飾風格上使用樊紅料。參考巴黎吉美博物館一件乾隆粉彩「萬花錦」紋罐,見Michel Beurdeley 及 Guy Raindre,《Qing Porcelain: Famille Verte, Famille Rose》,倫敦,1987年,圖版165。

此式極考功夫及高製作成本的萬花錦紋瓷器到嘉慶朝時仍持續燒造,一例台北故宮藏百花錦螭耳瓶可資參考,見《嘉慶君遊台灣-清仁宗文物大展》,台北,2016年,頁290-291,編號III-38;另上海博物館收藏的景德鎮窯粉彩百花圖瓶,見《上海博物館藏品研究大系:清代雍正-宣統官窯瓷器》,上海,2014年,頁120,圖3-83。一對仇炎之舊藏嘉慶粉彩百花碗,見Cecile及Michael Beurdeley編, 《La Ceramique Chinoise》,瑞士弗里堡, 1974年,編號151,先於1989年11月25日售於香港蘇富比,拍品171,後又售於香港佳士得,2002年4月29至30日,拍品708。再參考一對嘉慶粉彩百花杯,2004年9月21日售於紐約佳士得,拍品343;香港佳士得2008年5月27日亦售出一件嘉慶粉彩百花杯,拍品1751。
