It is very rare to find a monochrome Zhengde-marked vessel in the
form of a zhadou, although there exist examples of this form decorated
in underglaze blue or overglaze green and yellow enamels. Compare
with a blue and white vessel in the National Palace Museum, included
in the exhibition, Ciqi Shang de Longwen, Dragon Motifs on Porcelain,
1983, illustrated in the Catalogue, no. 23; and a green and yellow
enamelled example illustrated in Chinese Porcelain: The S. C. Ko
Tianminlou Collection, part I, Hong Kong Museum of Art, no. 68.
