This vase appears to be one of the fine examples carved at the Palace lapidary workshops. Compare similar treatment of the flat-headed, square-jawed chilong dragons with those carved in openwork decorating a Qianlong-marked white jade cup and cupstand from the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Zhongguo Yuqi Quanji, Hebei Meishu Chubanshe, 1991, no. 28.
Cf. two finely carved red glass overlay vessels of similar quality from the Jingguantang Collection, sold in these Rooms, 3 November 1996, one jar with similar treatment of waves, lot 507, the other a vase with archaistic dragon and phoenix, lot 511.
The carved swirling and crested waves on the base of the present vase, is reminiscent of jade carvings of the Ming and Qing periods, cf. a carved bowl from the collection of the Hon. Mrs Marten, illustrated in 'The Arts of the Ming Dynasty', Transactions of the Oriental Ceramic Society, 1955-57, vol. 30, pl. 342; and a white jade dragon-fish and boy group dated to the 18th century, illustrated by R. Kleiner, Chinese Jades from the Collection of Alan and Simone Hartman, Hong Kong, 1996, no. 171.
