Footnote
A very similar stem bowl slightly smaller in size was included in the Oriental Ceramic Society exhibition Monochrome Porcelain of the Ming and Manchu Dynasties, London, 1948, and illustrated in T.O.C.S., vol. 24, 1948-49, pl. 25, no. 101, where it was dated to the Ming dynasty. However, when published by P. J. Donnelly in Blanc de Chine, New York/Washington, 1967, pl. 35c, and p. 96, the author dated it no earlier than Kangxi period, more likely between 1675-1725. Another closely comparable example dated to the 17th to early 18th century, was sold at Christie's New York, 16 Sep 2016, lot 1336.
