Water pots of this form are known as taibai zun, after the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, who is often depicted leaning against a large wine jar of similar form. They are also known as qizhao zun because their shape resembles that of a chicken coop. Three similar Kangxi-marked peachbloom water pots of this type were sold in these rooms, 15 September 2009, lots 443, 450 and 453.
