題詩：
一片丹心向日傾，九天雨露感恩深。
莫嫌菊花無多艷，刧比葵花早得名。
一片丹心向日傾，九天雨露感恩深。
莫嫌菊花無多艷，刧比葵花早得名。

Condition
The waterpot is in overall good condition with just expected light surface wear and minute nicks to the edges, particularly to the footring. There are also losses to the gilding. The actual colour of the stone is less pale than the catolgue illustration.

The poem refers to the chrysanthemums carved on this charming vessel, which can be translated as follows:
A cinnabar heart leaning towards the sun,
Feeling deep gratitude for the dew of heaven.
Do not slight the chrysanthemum for its lack of beauty.
It was famous before the mallow flower.
The kuihua denotes either the mallow or the sunflower, both of which turn their heads up towards the sun and follow its path during the day. The sun represents the emperor, thus the mallow became a symbol of loyalty. The cinnabar heart leaning towards the sun may represent both the flower as well as a person, while the dew of heaven may be a metaphor for the benevolence of the emperor.
The Xingyoutengtang mark identifies this vessel as having been the property of the fifth Prince Ding, Zaiquan, a great-great-grandson of the Qianlong Emperor. Although the birth date of Prince Zaiquan is not recorded, it is noted that he attended the Palace school for princes and in 1808 began to study under Tang Jingzhao. In 1816 he was appointed a nobleman of the tenth rank, which suggests this came after an examination indicating he would have been born in the last years of the 18th century. For further biographical notes on Prince Zaiquan, see Arthur W. Hummel, Emminent Chinese of the Ch’ing Period, Taipei, 1991, pp. 728-9.
