A bowl with similar decoration, also with a Kangxi mark, and of the period, is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 38 - Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 226, pl. 207. See, also, the similar Kangxi-marked example sold in these rooms, 16 September 2011, lot 1539.
The decoration on the exterior of these Kangxi-marked doucai bowls is based on Ming dynasty blue and white prototypes, such as the Jiajing period bowl, excavated from a tomb at Xiaojia village, Chengdu city, Sichuan province, illustrated by Zhang Bai in Complete Collection of Ceramic Art Unearthed in China, vol. 10, Beijing, 2008, no. 168.
