A closely related bowl, from the Grandidier collection and now in the Musee Guimet, Paris, is illustrated in Oriental Ceramics. The World’s Great Collections, vol. 7, Tokyo, 1981, pl. 108; and another of slightly smaller size, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, is published in Chen Runmin, Qing Shunzhi Kangxi chao qinghua ci [Qing dynasty blue and white ceramics of the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods], Beijing, 2005, pl. 120. Further bowls of this type include one sold in these rooms, 31st October 1995, lot 450, another sold in our London rooms, 7th December 1993, lot 246; and a third bowl, from the Jie Rui Tang collection, to be offered in our New York rooms, 20th March 2018, lot 383.

Although grapes featured as a decorative motif on metalwork from the Tang dynasty (618-906), the combination of squirrels and grapes did not appear in Chinese painting until the late Yuan (1279-1368) or early Ming dynasty, and grew in popularity from the sixteenth century. The spreading vines with numerous fruit and seeds of the grape represent the flourishing and continuation of the family line. Thus the lively motif on these bowls expresses the wish that the family line will flourish and grow with many offspring.
