Yongle tang, which may be translated as ‘made for the Hall of
Perpetual Joy,’ is a rare hall mark that appears only on a small
group of Imperial bottles from the Daoguang period. It is usually
seen on bottles featuring the capture of Zhang Ge’er (Jahangir
Khoja), and on some bottles, such as the present example, with the
katydid design.
