A very similar Haoran tang marked pomegranate vessel was sold at Sotheby's New York, June 22nd, 2021, lot 119.

PLEASE NOTE: This report describes, but may not be limited to, major condition issues for the lot.


In excellent condition, with no break, no crack, no restoration. The icy blue glaze is even throughout, pulling thin at the rim and on the raised flowering branch decoration. Good treatment of the foot, nice mark. One small pin hole to the branch, and a few tiny specks to glaze, all original to the firing and not interfering with viewing. Minor scratches to glaze near the foot on one side.
