Compare the present example with a carved Longquan bowl from the Jack Chia Collection sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 5 November 1996, lot 634; and one sold in our London Rooms, 18 June 2002, lot 255.

The carved decoration on the bowl relates closely to designs found on contemporary blue and white bowls of the Yongle and Xuande reigns decorated with dense floral scrolls to the exterior and interior around a floral medallion.
