Dayazhai mark, Republic period The deep rounded sides rising to a gently everted scalloped rim, a blossoming wisteria vine winding around the exterior bearing clusters of purple blossoms dangling above pink peonies, a bird perched on the trunk near the phrase Dayazhai and a seal reading Tiandi yijia chun both in iron red, all reserved against a turquoise ground, the base with a four-character mark reading Yongqing changchun in iron red within a reserved cartouche. 6in (15.2cm) diam.
