PROVENANCE
Offered at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 26 October 1993, lot 148
This finely potted bowl is decorated in a style that is typical of the
refined doucai style in the Yongzheng reign. The outlines of the design
are rendered with a very fine brush in a clear, soft blue and the enamel
colours are used with delicacy and restraint.
A pair of Yongzheng bowls (13.5 cm) formerly in the T. Y. Chao
Collection, bearing the same design as the current bowl, were included
in the exhibition, Ch'ing Porcelain from the Wah Kwong Collection,
Hong Kong, 1973, no. 89; and one from the James and Marilynn Alsdort
Collection was sold at Christie’s New York, 24 September 2020, lot 821.
