This model is known in several variants within the coloured palette: in puce enamels (Hervouët, La Porcelaine des Compagnies des Indes à décor occidental, 1986, p. 124, no. 6.28) and in grisaille with a shell border on the rim (Santos, Yuan to Qing Ceramics, 2016/2017, cat. 71).
This example is a rare version, particularly well painted, combining the techniques of grisaille and famille rose enamels, and distinguished by the quality of its execution.
