PROVENANCE

A private collector, acquired in 1992

The tall flared shape of this delicately potted cup is a revival of a
classic form of the Jiajing period (1522-1566), known as yangzhong bei
(upright bell-shaped cup). Compare the present lot to a Kangxi blue
and white cup of this size and design, sold at Sotheby’s London, 11
December 1990, lot 313. Another Kangxi example of slightly larger size
was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 2 October 1991, lot 815. Compare
also a Kangxi blue and white cup of the same form but painted
with a different landscape scene in the Victoria and Albert Museum
collection, illustrated by Rose Kerr, Chinese Ceramics: Porcelain of the
Qing Dyansty 1644-1911, p. 65, no. 41.
