PROVENANCE
Seigando, Tokyo, acquired the mid-20th century.
A very similar stem bowl of the same size was included in the
Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition Monochrome Porcelain of
the Ming and Manchu Dynasties, London, 1948, and illustrated in
T.O.C.S., vol. 24, 1948-49, pl. 25, no. 101, where it was dated Ming
dynasty. However, when published by P. J. Donnelly in Blanc de
Chine, New York/Washington, 1967, pl. 35c, and p. 96, the author
dated it no earlier than Kangxi, more likely between 1675-1725.
