For a very similar basin, see the example
offered as lot 560 in Doyle’s sale of Asian Art,
held 19 March 2012.

For a discussion of painted enamel Yixing
wares, see the extensive introduction to the
catalog of Bonhams Hong Kong sale 19621 of
28 November 2011-- ‘Yixing Stoneware from
the Mr. & Mrs. Gerard Hawthorn Collection.’
There, this genre of decoration was attributed
to the late 18th/early 19th centuries.
