Inspired by Chenghua period design, the present example is exceptionally rare. Two pairs of similar Yongzheng bowls but lacking the pale-yellow ground were sold in our Hong Kong rooms, the first on 7th April 2015, lot 3677 and the second on 6th April 2016, lot 3633. For a Chenghua period bowl of similar design, see one included in the exhibition The Emperor's Broken China: Reconstructing Chenghua Porcelain, Sotheby's, London, 1995, cat. no. 86.
