拍品描述：
fitted rattan case (2)
Diameter 5⅞ in., 14.9 cm
Suichikudo, Tokyo, 1989.
White-glazed stem bowls such as the present piece were produced during the Ming dynasty under the Yongle Emperor's reign for imperial ceremonial use. Such stembowls were used in mourning ceremonies that Yongle conducted for his predecessor, the Hongwu Emperor, in order to legitimize his own claim to the throne. A devout Tibetan Buddhist, Yongle also likely employed these wares in rituals and gifted them to monasteries in Tibet.
