The incised number on the present lot indicates that this plate was in the collection of Augustus the Strong (Augustus II), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland (1670-1733). An avid art collector, he amassed an extensive collection of porcelain which was housed in the 'Japanese Palace' in Dresden.
Famille rose porcelain reached its zenith during the Yongzheng reign. Taoya 匋雅 published in 1910, extols that 'famille rose of the Qing dynasty are the most beautiful ones, unparalleled in the past or future, bright and dazzling.' See a pair of similar famille rose 'peony and chrysanthemum' dishes, Yongzheng, which was sold at Bonhams Paris, 26 October 2022, lot 317.
