Kate Sturges Buckingham (1858–1937) Collection, Chicago, before 1926. The Art Institute of Chicago, accessioned as the Collection of Lucy Maud Buckingham (1870-1920) in 1926.
Water pots of this form are known as taibai zun, after the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, who is often depicted leaning against a large wine jar of similar form. They are also known as jizhao zun because their shape resembles basketware chicken coops that are woven with small openings at the top through which the chicks are fed. A Kangxi peachbloom water pot, formerly in the collections of Emily Trevor and John B. Trevor, Jr., was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 May 2014, lot 3301. Another example from The Metropolitan Museum of Art was sold at Christie’s New York, Collected in America: Chinese Ceramics from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 15 September 2016, lot 915. For a discussion of the peachbloom glaze see the footnote to lot 726.
