PROVENANCE

Chauncey P. Lowe, Florida, 1986

See another blue-glazed dou in the Victoria and Albert
Museum illustrated by M. Medley, ‘The Illustrated
Regulations for Ceremonial Paraphernalia of the
Ch’ing Dynasty’, T.O.C.S., vol. 31, 1957-1959, pp.
95-105, pl. 39a. Medley notes, p. 100, that in the
Winter Solstice sacrifice held in the Temple of Heaven
in 1748, blue porcelain vessels were used for the first
time as stipulated by Emperor Qianlong, and these
sacrificial rites continued throughout the Qing dynasty.
A similar blue-glazed Qianlong-marked dou was sold
at Christie’s Hong Kong, 7 July 2003, lot 609, and a
Daoguang-marked example was sold at Christie’s
New York, 15-16 September 2011, lot 1611.
