拍品专文

The current example belongs to an exquisite group of turquoise-ground wares produced for the imperial court during the late Qing period, which are often inscribed with a Yongqing Changchun or Dayazhai mark, or both. See Guanyang yuci: gugong bowu yuan cang qingdai zhici guanyang yu yuyao ciqi, Beijing, 2007, p. 160-167 for examples of this group.
