JIAJING SIX-CHARACTER MARK IN UNDERGLAZE BLUE WITHIN A DOUBLE CIRCLE AND OF THE PERIOD (1522-1566)

八吉祥作爲佛教紋飾，一直深受明清兩代帝王喜愛，惟嘉靖皇帝篤信道教，嘉靖御瓷上較少看見八吉祥紋，令本盌格外罕見。比較一件外壁紋飾及佈局相似的宣德青花盌，為華盛頓國家藝廊藏品，見《Decorative Arts, Part II: Far Eastern Ceramics and Paintings, Persian and Indian Rugs and Carpets》，1998年，紐約，頁36-37。
