The hallmark, Shende tang huai gu zhai, may be translated, "Antique made for the Hall for the Cultivation of Virtue"
No other example of a coromandel lacquered bowl appears to be published. This particular lacquer technique is most often found on large screens. Sir Harry Garner, Chinese Lacquer, London, 1979, p.259, notes that Coromandel is a Western term for "a type of lacquer that was first made in China in the seventeenth century". The object was first covered in a thin layer of composition of whiting mixed with an adhesive, "which probably contained a certain amount of lacquer". Next came several layers of lacquer which were carved down to the composition and then painted in colored pigments
For examples of other lacquered porcelain wares, see a guri lacquer-style beaker vase with Kangxi mark from the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated by Derek Clifford, Chinese Carved Lacquer, London, 1992, pl. 89; and two black lacquered vessels with mother-of-pearl inlay, a meiping in the Art Institute of Chicago, illustrated in Ming Ch'ing Dynasties, Chicago, 1964, p. 65, fig. 67, and a jar illustrated by Michel Beurdeley and Guy Raindre in Qing Porcelain: Famille Verte, Famille Rose, London, 1987, p. 65, no. 67
