Note:
Compare the Qianlong mark with that on a Ge-type censer by possibly the same hand from the Robert Chang Collection, in Christie’s Hong Kong Sale ‘Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong’, November 2, 1999, lot 517. This similarity suggests the pieces may have come from the same kiln studio producing Song-style glazes.
