In Chinese tradition there are three different types of flute, the di, chi, and the xiao. Of these the di or transverse flute (played horizontally rather than vertically), of which this is an example, is so rare that in PJ Donnelly’s Blanc de Chine: The Porcelain of Tuhua in Fukien in 1969 he notes that whilst the flute type exists, he was yet to find a Dehua example. Robert Blumenfield in his 2001 publication Blanc de Chine - The Great Porcelain of Dehua, identifies one such piece (pp 32-33) which sold in Christie’s London, 12 July 2005, lot 86.
