The traditional decorative repertoire of the piece such as the weave pattern depicted around the base of the vessel, petal-shaped band and dense flower decoration, originated during the Kangxi period (1622-1722). The four roundels depicting European women are copied from costume prints designed by the Parisian Robert Bonnart and published by his brothers, Nicolas I and Henry II Bonnart, around 1685-1700. Each were copied from three different sets of prints. The first and second roundels were painted from the print <i>The Three Graces</i> by the Bonnart brothers and depicts a woman sitting next to a screen near a balcony, the third roundel was taken the print <i>L'Odorat </i>published by Henri II Bonnart and illustrates<i> </i>woman on a day bed<i>,</i> while the fourth scene, of a lady on a swing, was taken from the print <i>L'air </i>from the series <i>The Elements</i> published by Henri II Bonnart. The prints were probably taken to China by the Dutch captains of the Dutch East Indian Company.
