Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Originally this stem bowl would have had a domed cover. An identical stem bowl with a damaged cover was excavated in the Xuande strata in 1993 at Zhushan, Jingdezhen. Another example with an intact cover, also with a Xuande mark, is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei. Further identical pieces are in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London, and the Capital Museum, Beijing.
