Lot Essay

The design of the current jar is inspired by its Chenghua prototype, such as the Chenghua-marked doucai jar with medallions of chrysanthemums and butterflies from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, no. 166.

Compare also to a Yongzheng example in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Dayun Painted Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, Vol. 1, Beijing, 2024, no. 2, which is also featured on the cover.
