The shape, moulding, and clay body of this bowl are closely related
to the white-glazed shufu wares made in Jingdezhen during the Yuan
dynasty. Compare for example to a shufu bowl of similar size and form,
moulded with two three-clawed dragons encircling a flowerhead, sold
at Christie’s New York, 15 September 2009, lot 331. The face of the
dragon on the current bowl is also similar to that of a dragon moulded
on a qingbai washer found in the Sinan ship wreck dating to the Yuan
dynasty, illustrated in Relics Salvaged from the Seabed off Sinan, Seoul,
1985, pl. 102.
