Vessels dating to the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor (r.1725-1735) decorated with a 'peachbloom-type' glaze are quite rare. This glaze is reminiscent of the peachbloom glaze that was first developed in the Kangxi period and reserved for a small group of vessels referred to as the 'Eight Great Numbers' Badama; see a complete set of badama in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, illustrated by S.Valenstein, A Handbook of Chinese Ceramics, New York, 1989, nos.231-238, p.237.
The use of copper-red glaze at Jingdezhen was revived by the Kangxi Emperor following the intention to reproduce classic Ming sacrificial red jihong porcelain wares. The French Jesuit missionary Père François d'Entrecolles (b. 1664-1741) mentioned in his writing the details of the copper-red production at Jingdezhen including the sourcing of the copper, the recipes and the high level of technical knowledge acquired by the potters in making these wares; see N.Wood, Chinese Glazes, London, 1999, p.180.
Compare with a similar copper-red glazed bowl, Yongzheng mark and of the period, which was sold at Christie's New York, 20 September 2013, lot 1364.
