興彩

Though clearly rendered on a much smaller
scale, the still impressively intricate slip
landscape decoration to the sides of this very
tiny feeder compares surprisingly favorably
with the longer and more elaborate slip-
decorated landscape edge found on the
Yongzheng-era imperial Yixing stoneware
inkstone offered as part of Bonhams Hong
Kong sale 19621 of 28 November 2011,
Yixing Stoneware from the Mr. & Mrs. Gerard
Hawthorn Collection: lot 250.
