Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This bowl is dated by stylistic comparison to Hongwu period underglaze red and underglaze blue bowls, which have the same shape and similar designs, excavated from a Hongwu context at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. Other bowls of this type are well known. For example, four identical green-glazed bowls are in the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul.
