Compare a pair of slightly smaller identical bowls, Qianlong seal
mark and period, illustrated in Illustrated Catalogue of Tokyo National
Museum Chinese Ceramics II, Tokyo, 1990, p.151, no.592. See also
another very similar bowl, Qianlong seal mark and period, illustrated
in Qing Imperial Porcelain of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong
Reigns, Hong Kong, 1995, no.82.

This type of bowls continued to be made following the Qianlong
period; see a similar example, Daoguang seal mark and period, from
the Nanjing Museum, illustrated in Treasures in the Royalty. The Official
Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, p.391.

A similar blue and white iron-red bowl, Qianlong seal mark and period,
sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8 April 2007, lot 860.

同為乾隆一朝類似之器，見東京國立博物院藏一例，著錄於

II》，東京，1990年，頁151，圖592；另見《Qing Imperial Porcelain
of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Reigns》，香港，1995年，

一例，2007年4月8日，編號860。
