This bowl, with its subtle decoration covered in a beautiful
celadon glaze, belongs to a special group of celadon-glazed
bowls, all of this form and size, but with varying moulded
design band decoration, made on the order of the Qing court
catering to the emperor’s sophisticated taste and fondness for
elegant monochrome wares.
It is unusual to find a Yongzheng bowl of this type carved with
the Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang). Compare a closely
related example decorated with an interlaced peony scroll, sold
in these rooms, 25th November 1981, lot 322; another sold in
our London rooms, 16th May 2012, lot 168.
