P R O V E NAN C E :
Collection of Mrs. E. Moore, acquired in Asia in 1948
Sold at Christie’s London, 25-26 November 1974, lot 210

The design of this type of ewer is inspired by similar blue and white
porcelain ewers from the early 15th century. A Ming dynasty example
bearing a Xuande reign mark (AD 1426-35) in the Palace Museum is
illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum,
Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (I), Hong Kong, 2000, p. 121,
no. 115. The shape of these early 15th century ewers was influenced by
Near Eastern metalwork.

A similar Qianlong marked example was sold at Christie’s New York,
19 September 2006, lot 307; another example at Christie’s London,
8 June 2004, lot 332. (mark)
