Lot Essay

This very rare design is found on two Yongzheng-marked examples in the Palace Museum Collection, Beijing. One is illustrated in Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red (III), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong Commercial Press, 2000, p. 223, no. 204; another example is illustrated in Gu Tao Ci Zi Liao Xuan Cui, Forbidden City Press, Beijing, 2005, p. 150, no. 128. Another Yongzheng-marked example was sold at Sotheby's New York, 16 September 2009, lot 211.

In the absence of any other known examples without a mark or from other reign periods, it seem certain that the present example would also have had a Yongzheng mark to the interior of the foot which has now been effaced.
