The form of this moonflask is based on early Ming dynasty prototypes, such as two fifteenth century examples in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Blue-and-White Ware of the Ming Dynasty, Book II, Part 1, Hong Kong, 1963, pp. 38-41, pls. 9-10c. See, also, two eighteenth-century moonflasks of the same shape, one with a fruiting pomegranate tree on one side and in flower on the reverse, sold in these rooms, 23 March 2012, lot 2013, the other with pomegranates on one side and lychees on the other, 19 September 2007, lot 289.
