Lot Essay
A vase of this shape decorated in blue and white is extremely rare. They are more commonly found in monochrome glazes, usually celadon. A close example of this was sold in our Hong kong rooms, 30 May 2006, lot 1375.
A pair of monochrome jars of this form with Qianlong marks, exhibited in Singapore, 1979, is illustrated in Chinese Celadons and Other Related Wares in Southeast Asia, pl. 224, nos. 271 and 272.
The decoration on the current vase is a typical design derived from the Ming Dynasty incorporated into the Qing period. From the classic floral meander, to the bands of lappets and crashing waves to the rim.
