|Enameled Yixing objects of this size appear to be quite rare. However, the enameled decoration on the present lot reflects similar stylistic choices as those found on much smaller Yixing vessels dated to the Daoguang/Xianfeng period of Qing dynasty. For one such example, see a basin decorated in a similar technique originally from the collection of the Monterey Museum of Art, sold in these rooms on 28 June 2016, lot 8094.
