Bowls of this design are rare, as they depart from the more common convention of using solely green enamel decoration on a yellow ground. Vessels combining multiple enamel colours on a yellow ground are described in the imperial archives as “a new category of wucai,” an innovation of the Yongzheng period. In both traditional and innovative examples, the designs are characterised by finely incised details.
Notable examples of Yongzheng bowls with this pattern include one from the Constantinidi Collection, illustrated by S. Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain, 1971, pl. LXIX, no. 3; another in the Palace Museum, Beijing, published in Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong, 1989, p. 238, pl. 67; and several sold at auction, including a bowl from the British Rail Pension Fund, sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 16 May 1989, lot 78, and subsequently at Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 April 2001, lot 545, another sold at Christie's London, 3 November 2020, lot 34.
