The decoration and glaze on this bowl appears to be inspired
by Yuan dynasty shufu wares. The term shufu usually refers
to a type of glaze which is slightly more opaque than that of
a qingbai glaze and is silky in texture, rather than glassy. The
term derives from the characters shu and fu executed in low
relief under the glaze found on some wares with this glaze. It
is believed that wares with this mark were intended for use by
a Yuan dynasty government department, the Shumiyuan, which
is equated with a Privy Council. A Yuan-dynasty shufu molded
bowl from the Falk Collection that illustrates this glaze was
sold at Christie's New York, 16 October 2001, lot 123.
