Lot 3502. An extremely rare large apple-green glazed bowl, Seal mark and period of Qianlong (1736-1795); 18.6 cm. Lot sold  1,071,000 HKD (Estimate : 700,000 - 900,000 HKD). © Sotheby's 2022

Note: It is extremely rare to find any green-glazed bowl from the Qianlong reign. The current bowl, enveloped in an attractive vivid green glaze, but without any carved decoration, is of unusually large size. No other example appears to be recorded in any private or public museum. It was formerly in the collection of Edward T. Hall (1924-2001), whose single-owner sale of exceptional monochromes met with great success in these rooms, 2nd May 2000.
