Lot Essay

Monochrome jardinieres of this type with incurved mouth rims are known. Compare with two Yongzheng-marked examples both illustrated in Kang Yong Qian, Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, 1989, p. 285, no. 114, in flambe glaze; and p. 289, no. 118, Robin's-egg glaze. Another example with an incised Yongzheng reign mark with Jun-type glaze is illustrated by J. Ayers, Chinese Ceramics in the Baur Collection, vol. 2, Geneva, 1999, p. 157, no. 264.
