Incised design on purple vessels are extremely rare. Its colour was due to the addition of manganese in the glaze; and its earliest appearance in ceramics is on fahua wares of the sixteenth century.
For comparable vessels with this rich, intense glaze, cf. a Yongzheng-marked 'chrysanthemum' dish in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong, p. 316, no. 145; a wine vessel, jue, incised with a Qianlong mark, from the Robert Chang Collection, sold in these Rooms, 2 November 1999, lot 507; and pear-shaped vase with an impressed Qianlong mark, from the Baur Collection, illustrated by J. Ayers, Catalogue, vol. II, A475, no. 323.
Comparable Yongzheng examples with incised designs but of a lighter purple glaze are illustrated: the first two, from the Hall Family Collection, sold in Hong Kong, 2 May 2000, a bowl and dish, lots 530 and 531 respectively; and a dish in the Percival David Foundation, Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 6, no. 254.
