According to two letters written in 1712 and 1722 by the French Jesuit priest Francois Xavier d'Entrecolles, who visited Jingdezhen, pieces such as the present lot were made by cobalt powder being blown onto the pot using a tube with silk gauze over the end, hence the term 'powder blue' in English and chui qing (吹青) 'blown blue' in Chinese. See a related powder-blue and gilt-decorated brushpot, Kangxi, illustrated in Kangxi Porcelain Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Hong Kong, 1998, no.201.
Compare with a related powder-blue and gilt-decorated brushpot, Kangxi, which was sold at Sotheby's London, 10 November 2017, lot 465.
