Lime green dishes of the Yongzheng period are extremely rare. The thin and fine potting of the Yongzheng potter are especially pleasing presented in this hue, normally in small formats such as cups and small dishes.
For an identical dish, see Marchant, '90th Anniversary Exhibition of
Qing Porcelain from Private Collections', 7-22 May 2015, no. 28.
Two bowls of the same colour but with white interiors in the Percival David Foundation, can be found at the British Museum, nr. PDF,B.526 and B.525.
