It is very unusual to find such a small stem cup enamelled in yellow.
Other Yongzheng-marked examples of similar form and size, but
covered in puce enamel with straight mouth rims, can be found in the
collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, and are illustrated in Qingdai
yuyao ciqi, juan 1, vol. II, Beijing, 2005, p. 416, pl. 195. Another example
of underglaze blue decorated with ‘Eight Treasures’ and with the
same modelling is from the collection of the Nanjing Museum, and is
published in Zhongguo Qingdai guanyao ciqi, Shanghai, 2003, p. 172.
