An article by Pengliang Lu, 'Where Potter Met Poets, A Kangxi Vase with a Poetry Gathering in Jingdezhen,' Arts of Asia, March-April 2017, pp 98-104, identifies the founder of Mushiju as Zhao Wenzong, a local official who moved comfortably among poets, calligraphers, and artists of the period. The superlative works from this studio illustrate the close and productive relationship between artist and artisan that flourished during the Kangxi period. A brushpot with the same mark dated to the year corresponding to 1709, from the Grandidier Collection, is in the Musée Guimet, Paris and illustrated in The World’s Great Collections, Oriental Ceramics, vol. 7, Tokyo, 1981, pl. 53.
