The shape and design of this bowl are based on Ming dynasty blue and white prototypes such as the bowl dated early 15th century and the bowl with Xuande mark in the Percival David Foundation, illustrated by M. Medley, Illustrated Catalogue of Underglaze Blue and Copper Red, London, 1976, pl. XI, no. B625 and pl. XV, no. B697, respectively. A similar underglaze-blue bowl with yellow ground in the National Palace Museum, Taiwan, is illustrated in Blue-and-White Wares of the Ming Dynasty, Book II (Part 2), Hong Kong, 1963, pls. 58-58b. And another, also with yellow ground, is illustrated by R. L. Hobson, George Eumorfopoulos Collection Catalogue, London, 1927, vol. IV, pl. XV, no. D 90, where is it tentatively dated Jiajing period.
