This bowl, with its subtle decoration covered in a beautiful celadon glaze, belongs to a special group of celadon-glazed bowls, all of this form and size, but with varying moulded design band decoration, made on the order of the Qing court catering to the emperor's sophisticated taste and fondness for elegant monochrome wares.
It is unusual to find a Yongzheng bowl of this type carved with the Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang). Compare a closely related example decorated with an interlaced peony scroll, sold in these rooms, 25th November 1981, lot 322; another sold in our London rooms, 16th May 2012, lot 168.
