Lot Essay

This very rare jar is based on an earlier Yongzheng period prototype such as the example sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 20 May 1986, lot 67. Compare also with a similarly decorated Qianlong-marked blue and white bottle vase sold at Christie's London, 9 November 2010, lot 306. The design is also found on much larger Qianlong-marked jars such as a large ovoid jar sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 29 May 2007, lot 1461.

S.C. Coles was an antiquarian book dealer with a shop near the British Museum in the 1940s. A keen collector of Chinese ceramics and a close friend of Soame Jenyns, he was an active member of the Oriental Ceramics Society and he lent a number of pieces from his own collection for Oriental Ceramics Society exhibitions.
