CHINA - Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) BOWL ON A FOOTSTAND made of white “tianbai” (soft white) glazed porcelain, with a mold-decorated design beneath the glaze depicting a phoenix in flight among peonies on the rim; on the base, an apocryphal Yongle mark consisting of four characters in zhuanshu script. H. 8.1 cm. Diam. 9 cm This piece pays homage to the 'tianbai' glazed wares of the Yongle period. A collection of seventy-one imperial pieces and fragments from the Yongle period was discovered in the imperial kiln at Zhushan in Jingdezhen in 1982. Archaeologists concluded that this very pure white glaze was first produced before 1412. These pieces were likely used for Buddhist ceremonies. This is a later piece that does not exactly replicate the shape of the Yongle-period pieces, which feature dragon decorations and more flared rims. A piece from the Yongle period is housed at the British Museum and is illustrated in J. Harrison-Hall, *Ming Ceramics in the British Museum*, London, 2001, no. 3:1. Expert: Cabinet Portier
