Copper red glazed globular form bowl, sold at £40,000 at Dreweatts.
Measuring 5½in (13.5cm), it came for sale from a private French collection with a guide of just £300-500 but sold at £40,000.
Pieces with this rich, even jihong glaze are typically associated with the experimental Yongzheng period.
A similar mark and period box with a cover (missing to Dreweatts’ example) sold at Christie’s this year for £50,000.
