Among yellow-ground green-enamelled bowls from the Kangxi reign, it is extremely rare to find such a design of cloud scrolls outlined in slip. Finely delineated, the slip detailing presents another technical challenge that the potter has successfully mastered.
A pair of similar bowls was sold in our London rooms, 10th November 2004, lot 667, and another example was sold in our New York rooms, 23rd March 2022, lot 260. Compare a closely related bowl but with aubergine clouds on a green ground, preserved in the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong: Qing Porcelain from the Palace Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1989, pl. 108. See another related yellow-ground and green-enamelled bowl, but lacking the slip decoration, in the collection of the Tsinghua University Art Museum, Beijing, as shown on their website.
同類康熙黃地綠彩盌例中，如此對盌以堆塑飾祥雲紋者，尤為珍稀，工藝要求較高，傳世品中罕見。倫敦蘇富比2004年11月10日曾售一對相類之例，編號667；2002年3月23日紐約蘇富比也曾拍出類例，編號260。參考北京故宮博物院藏綠地紫彩雲紋盌，收入《故宮珍藏康雍乾瓷器圖錄》，香港，1989年，圖版108。北京清華大學藝術博物館藏一黃地綠彩盌，可與此比對，惟缺堆塑，圖見該館網站。
