NOTE

Porcelain wares with pinkish-blue glazes from the Yongzheng period were designed to imitate similar glaze varieties from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. However, when compared to the pinkish-blue glazes of the Yongle period, those from the Yongzheng period exhibit a purer and more substantial glaze layer.

-A pair of similar jars, previously part of the Meiyintang Collection, has been auctioned in our Hong Kong rooms twice, on 5th November 1996, as lot 847, and on 3rd April 2012, as lot 5.

-Additionally, a single jar was auctioned in the same Hong Kong rooms on 27th April 2003, as lot 262, and again on 5th October 2011, as lot 1932.
