Bowls of this design are rare although a closely related
example was sold in our London rooms, 18th November 1998,
lot 869; and a pair, from the collection of Stephen Junkunc III,
was sold at Christie’s New York, 19th March 2008, lot 637.

This bowl belongs to a special group of bowls and dishes of
various forms, decorated with varying design bands carved
above the foot or around the middle of the exterior. These were
made on the order of the Qing court to cater for the emperor’s
sophisticated taste and fondness for elegant monochrome
porcelains that were inspired by ancient celebrated wares.
