Comments:Compare with Franks.134 Harrison-Hall 2001:Such ewers were made in the imperial porcelain factory at Jingdezhen in the Yongle era. Ewers with varying decoration but of the same form were excavated in the Yongle strata at Dongmentou, Zhushan, in 1994. Although made in the imperial factory, ewers of this type were also exported, probably as diplomatic gifts; two examples are in the Shah Abbas collection at the Ardebil shrine, Iran.
