Compare with a late Ming vase in the Palace Museum, Beijing in the form of a tree trunk illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Jadeware II, Hong Kong, 1995, no. 162.
Compare also an 18th century example of a white jade tree-trunk form vase, from the Hartman Collection sold in these Rooms, 28 November 2006, lot 1378. The carving of this vase in noticeably more formalised and less free in its depiction of the branches than in the present Ming dynasty example.
