The glaze on the present cup is reminiscent of the peachbloom glaze
that was first developed in the Kangxi period and used on eight vessel
shapes referred to as the badama, or 'Eight Great Numbers.' While
favored during the Kangxi reign, small peachbloom-glazed wares of
Yongzheng date, such as the current cup, are quite rare.

Two Yongzheng mark-and-period meiping covered with a glaze
described as peachbloom-type, formerly in the collection of Adaline
Havemeyer Frelinghuysen, were sold at Christie’s New York, 13 March
2012, lots 1545 and 1546. The glaze on lot 1546, which shades from
crushed-strawberry red to greyish red and celadon, is quite similar to
that on the current cup.
