It is unusual to find a bowl of this type with a Qianlong mark, but one in the collection of the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, is illustrated by He Li, Chinese Ceramics, A New Comprehensive Survey, New York, 1996, p. 284, no. 565. See, also, an example of slightly larger proportions sold in these rooms, The Jingguantang Collection Part III, 18 September 1997, lot 164.

For a Kangxi precursor of this Qianlong example see the bowl in the Percival David Foundation, illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, vol. 6, Tokyo, 1982, no. 233. The eight-character mark on the base may be translated, 'made for the Zhonghe Pavilion in the renzi year of Kangxi', corresponding to 1672. Yongzheng-marked examples are represented by one illustrated in Old Oriental Ceramics Donated by Mr. Yokogawa, Tokyo National Museum, 1953, pl. 389; one included in the exhibition, Chinese Antiquities from the Brian S. McElney Collection, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1987, no. 100; and another from the T.Y. Chao Collection included in the exhibition, Ch'ing Porcelain from the Wah Kwong Collection, 1973, no. 35.
