Bowls of this type are originally complete with a mirror-image cover
of slightly different pattern, but the design on the bowl alone remains
powerful without the cover and has been favored by collectors and
museums alike.

A bowl of the same design was sold at Sotheby’s New York, 21
March 2018, lot 706; another sold at Christie’s New York, 24 March
2011, lot 1712; and one other example from the collection of
Stephen Junkunc, III, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 November
2012, lot 2139.
