The 'barrel-seat' design originates from early Chinese drums which were constructed with skins stretched over the top and secured in place with nails. This construction method gave rise to the characteristic moulded bosses observed on ceramic versions of this form. For comparison, a related barrel-shaped fahua reticulated seat from the Chenghua period is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Miscellaneous Enamelled Porcelains Plain Tricoloured Porcelains, Beijing, 2009, pl.230. Additionally, a related fahua garden seat, displaying similar flowerhead and lotus leaf motifs on the top and dated to the Hongzhi/Zhengde/Jiajing periods, is illustrated by J.Harrison-Hall, Ming Ceramics in the British Museum, London, 2001, no.13:33. See a related fahua barrel-form garden seat, Chenghua period, which is illustrated by Geng Baochang, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Miscellaneous Enamelled Porcelains Plain Tricoloured Porcelains, Beijing, 2009, pl.230, p.280.

Compare with a related matched pair of Fahua garden seats, Zhengde period, which was sold at Christie's London, 9 May 2017, lot 12.
