Note: The three spur marks on the interior well of this lot also appear in Lot 72 offered earlier in this sale. See also the example with partridge feather markings formerly in the Myron S. Falk Collection, published by Robert D. Mowry in Hare's Fur, Tortoiseshell, and Partridge Feathers: Chinese Brown- and Black- Glazed Ceramics, 400-1400, Cambridge, 1996, no. 39, pp. 144-145. The cover on this lot lacks a twig shaped finial seen on lot 72 offered in this sale and on the Falk bowl; but see a similar cover of flattened dome shape on a Cizhou painted bowl, dated to the Jin dynasty, 12th-early 13th century, sold at Christie's New York sale, 26 March 2003, lot 223.
