Three identical bowls to the present lot with Kangxi yuzhi marks, are known: one in Beijing, illustrated in Metal-bodied Enamel Ware, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2002, pl. 177; another from the Rev. Victor Farmer collection, sold at Christie's London, 8 June 2004, lot 467; and the other included in the Min Chiu Society Thirtieth Anniversary Exhibition, Selected Treasures of Chinese Art, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1991, Catalogue no. 225 and subsequently sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 October 2003, lot 725. The latter two examples are both illustrated in Chinese Art News, No. 146, March 2010, p. 75.

As the production techniques of enamelled porcelain during the Kangxi reign generally imitated those of enamelled metalware, the composition and style of enamelling on this bowl is closely related to those found on a number of Kangxi yuzhi-marked porcelain bowls with formal floral scrolls on coloured grounds. Cf. the three shallow bowls of this composition on pink, yellow and ruby-red grounds, all with blue or ruby-enamelled marks, illustrated in Painted Enamels of the Ch'ing Dynasty, National Palace Museum, Taiwan, 1979, nos. 3, 4 and 7, respectively.

There are a small number of exquisite Beijing enamelled Kangxi Yuzhi marked bowls of this size and form. Two bowls in the British Museum are illustrated by Jourdain and Jenyns, Chinese Export Art in the Eighteenth Century, London, 1950, p. 127, pl. 109, one painted with flowerhead medallions on a green ground and another with flowering prunus on a ruby ground. Hugh Moss illustrates the second bowl again in By Imperial Command, Hong Kong, 1976, vol. 1, and a bowl from the Palmer collection painted with prunus on a yellow ground is illustrated ibid., pl. 11. A pale pink ground bowl with a composite floral scroll was sold in Hong Kong, 30 April 1991, lot 148.
