SECOND HALF OF THE 14TH CENTURY

Very few celadon octagonal stem-cups of this date appear to be recorded. One very similar example is illustrated by B. Gyllensvrd, Chinese Ceramics in the Carl Kempe Collection, Stockholm, 1964, no.156, p.65. Another was sold in Hong Kong, 2 May 1995, lot 10. Compare also the smaller Geyao octagonal stem-cup in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated Zhongguo Meishu Quanji (A Complete Anthology of Chinese Art, Ceramics), Shanghai, 1988, vol.3, no.92, where it is dated to the Chenghua period.
