Qing dynasty, Qianlong Six-character seal mark in underglaze blue. It is very finely painted with the scene of Jia Chang stamping his left foot to call the chickens in a setting of blue rocks and peonies. Jia Chang is shown facing the rooster while the hen and four chicks are shown on the reverse below a lengthy poetic inscription dated Qianlong bingshen (corresponding to 1776) in black followed by two seals, qian and long, in iron-red enamel.Provenance: Private collection from Bristol
