The well-known, successful design originated in the Yongle
period, when the form of ewer of the Hongwu reign and
ultimately the Yuan dynasty was developed and improved
and matured to a highly pleasing model. Ewers of this form
were produced in the Yongle reign in many different designs,
but the peach-and-loquat version appears to have become
the most popular, which it also remained in the Qing dynasty.
A reconstructed ewer from the Yongle stratum of the
Ming imperial kiln sites was included in the exhibition
Jingdezhen Zhushan chutu Yongle guanyao ciqi [Yongle
Imperial porcelain excavated at Zhushan, Jingdezhen],
Capital Museum, Beijing, 2007, cat. no. 66. For a Jiaqing
comparable, see one in the Palace Museum, Beijing,
published in Geng Baochang, ed., Gugong Bowuyuan cang
gu taoci ciliao xuancui [Selection of ancient ceramic material
from the Palace Museum], Beijing, 2005, vol. II, pl. 249.
