During the reigns of the Yongzheng and Qianlong emperors there was significant experimentation at the imperial kilns to increase the range of fine monochrome wares. Subsequently, during the early to mid-18th century, the number of different monochrome glazes produced at Jingdezhen expanded considerably. The aim was not only to produce attractive colors, but also to achieve interesting textures.
Cha ye mo, or teadust glaze, was used as early as the Tang dynasty on ewers and small cups produced at the Yaozhou kilns. However, it was not until the early 18th century, during the reign of the Yongzheng emperor, that the glaze was used on a wide scale.
A slightly smaller (17.5cm. diam.) teadust-glazed Yongzheng-marked jardinière of this rare form is illustrated in Catalog of the Special Exhibition of K'ang-hsi, Yung-cheng and Ch'ien-lung Porcelain Ware from the Ch'ing Dynasty in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1986, no. 56. A Qianlong-marked example in the Cleveland Museum of Art is illustrated by S. E. Lee, A History of Far Eastern Art, New York, n.d., p. 449, pl. 49. Compare, also, the similar jardinière from the Robert Chang Collection sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 31 October 2000, lot 820.
