Weight: 3,787 g Dimensions: Height 40.8 cm Shendetang (Hall of Prudent Virtue) is a hall mark associated with a range of fine porcelains made for the Hall of Prudent Virtue, a summer residence of Emperor Daoguang. The Daoguang Emperor was known as a prudent, kind, and frugal ruler; however, one area he chose to invest heavily was the Yuanmingyuan. The financial review of the Yuanmingyuan in 1824 showed a significant surplus; thus, the ample money available allowed Daoguang to construct the Shendetang, the new living quarters, in 1830, which were completed in 1831. The Hall featured three connecting wave roofs on a square-shaped structure, hence showing a distinct character that was markedly different from the more rigid Confucian-inspired architecture. The greater degree of freedom in arrangement and design reflects the style of porcelain that was lavishly produced for the Hall. Daoguang pieces inscribed with the Shendetang mark are attributable to the two decades between 1831 and 1850 and are often characterized by novel designs.
