Previously sold in these Rooms, 1 October 1991, lot 838.

No other jar of this rare design appears to be published. The arabesque motif with feathery leaves is reminiscent of the Rococo-style architecture of the Qing Summer Palace, Yuanming Yuan, 'The Garden of Perfect Brightness', and it is possible that this jar was a special commission.
