Lot Essay

Compare with a Qianlong-marked pear-shaped vase decorated with a lotus scroll in this palette sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 1 May 1995, lot 660 and a Qianlong-marked hu-form vase illustrated by J. Ayers, Far Eastern Ceramics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1980, no. 220. The floral scroll decoration can also be compared to the border painted on the cavetto of an important black-ground green-glazed Qianlong-marked dish sold in our London rooms, 5 June 1995, lot 210, as well as a Qianlong-marked ogée bowl sold in our London rooms, 11 June 1990, lot 269.
