Lot Essay

No other Yongzheng vase of this type appears to be published, although smaller vases of other forms or glaze from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods are well known.

For a blue and white decorated vase of this form and date, see the example from the Grandidier collection illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, Kodansha Series, vol.7, fig. 164
