Christie’s New York, 19 September 2007, lot 241.
Peter Scheinman (1932-2017) Collection, New York.
The style of painting on this bowl is quite unusual, but can be seen on a shard of a bowl with similar
cobalt and amber decoration, illustrated in the transcript of Wang Liying’s lecture, ‘The Ancient Chinese
Ceramics Research Society’, T.O.C.S., vol. 69, 2004-2005, p. 20, fg. 3b. See, also, the similar bowl sold
at Christie’s New York, 24 March 2011, lot 1284.

The result of Oxford Authentication Ltd. thermoluminescence test no. P107x43 is consistent with
the dating of this lot.
