The technique of using paper cut-outs as stencils to create resist
designs was one of the innovative decorative techniques employed
at the Jizhou kilns in Jiangxi province. For a discussion of the
processes involved in producing these designs, see R. D. Mowry,
Hare’s Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown-and
Black Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Cambridge, 1996, pp. 36-8.
Mowry illustrates, ibid., pp. 248-9, no. 100, a related Jizhou bowl
with three quatrefoil foral medallions on the interior, from the
private collection of R. Hatfeld Ellsworth, which was subsequently
sold at Christie’s New York, 20 March 2015, lot 851.
