The present lot belongs to a group of Jizhou papercut-decorated bowls which share the same characteristic of dressing the unglazed biscuit foot with a dark red wash, possibly to imitate the dark body of the highly praised Jian wares of the same period. See a closely related example from this group in the National Museum of Asian Art Collection, Washington, D.C. (accession no. RLS1997.48.1266); and another bowl, similarly decorated, but of a conical form, sold at Christie's New York, 20th September 2002, lot 289.
