Compare with an early eighteenth century archaistic gui type vessel with similar decoration and an apocryphal Jingtai mark illustrated by Brinker and Lutz, Chinese Cloisonn, The Pierre Uldry Collection, pl. 252, where the authors noted that the use of the Jingtai mark on this example suggested that incense vessels in the style of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were copied in the eighteenth century. A fifteenth century prototype is also illustrated ibid, pl. 27, and shares similarities with the present lot.
