Lot Essay

A very similar stem bowl of the same size was included in the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition Monochrome Porcelain of the Ming and Manchu Dynasties, London, 1948, and illustrated in T.O.C.S., vol. 24, 1948-49, pl. 25, no. 101, where it was dated Ming dynasty. However, when published by P. J. Donnelly in Blanc de Chine, New York/Washington, 1967, pl. 35c, and p. 96, the author dated it no earlier than Kangxi, more likely between 1675-1725.
