Lot Essay

Vases blown from translucent green glass of this form are quite rare and no other example appears to have been published. A slightly larger (14.5 cm.) red glass vase of identical shape, also with a Qianlong wheel cut mark, was included in The Urban Council and the Min Chiu Society exhibition, Splendour of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1992, Catalogue, no. 285.

(US$7,000-9,000)
