Notable for its subtle light blue glaze, one of the most coveted glazes made at kilns in Junzhou, present-day Yuzhou, Henan province, this bowl is unusual for its elegant flared form with a gently lipped rim. A bowl of similar shape and glaze is illustrated in Michael Sullivan, Chinese Ceramics, Bronzes and Jades in the Collection of Sir Alan and Lady Barlow, London, 1963, pl. 35c; one was sold in these rooms, 9th June 2004, lot 174; another from the collection of Lord Cunliffe, included in the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition Sung Dynasty Wares: Chün and Brown Glazes, London, 1952, cat. no. 76, was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 1st October 1991, lot 717.
