Painted with carefully rendered dragons and phoenix on a pristine white ground, this bowl is a fine example of porcelain ware made at the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen during the Kangxi Emperor's reign. This particular design was probably inspired by the work of the gifted painter Liu Yuan (c.1638-85), who was employed by the court in the early years of the reign, to create porcelain designs. It was Liu who introduced a finely pencilled style on a plain white ground.

Dudley L. Pickman (1779-1848) was the founder of one of the great Salem trading companies active in the Far East with a fleet of clipper ships. General Charles G. Loring (1828-1902) was the first director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from the opening of the museum in 1876 until his resignation in 1902.
此盌製工精美，筆觸靈動。盌身通體透白，所繪青花龍鳳尤為生動，為康熙景德鎮御窰典型。康熙初年，畫師劉源（約1638-85年）曾入宮供職，嘗畫此類龍鳳飾樣，又開創白地勾勒之風，如此盌上紋樣，或受劉氏所畫啟發。
