         A Jun bowl of similar proportions, but of slightly larger size and covered
         with the more usual pale blue glaze, is illustrated in Regina Krahl,
         Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 1, London, 1994,
         pp. 220 and 221, no. 383. Compare also a closely related example,
         also applied with an opaque bluish glaze with purplish-red splashes,
         included in Mayuyama, Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, no. 410, p. 139.
         Another bowl, from the Falk Collection, of similar size but covered in
         green and bearing the original cover, was sold at Christie’s New York,
         16 October 2001, lot 71.
         The result of C-Link Research & Development Limited
         Thermoluminescence Analysis number 7774HE08 (10 May 2019) is
         consistent with the dating of this lot.
