Emperor Yongzheng, who, like his father Emperor Kangxi, was a hard-working ruler , continued an era of peace and prosperity during the Qing Dynasty. His reign was known to be strict, efficient and vigorous, the same as his imperial kiln wares featuring the highest quality. Since Emperor Yongzheng was a very rigorous man with good taste, the Imperial kiln ware during his reign had a reputation for being flawless, with an elegant shape and charming color. The color of the small bowl above, called "rouge red", was a typical color during the era of Yongzheng Imperial porcelain. This bowl sold for 5,290,000 RBM at the China Guardian 2011 Spring Actions.
