This vase belongs to a group of cloisonné vases produced in the 18th century decorated with archaistic designs and inspired by archaic bronze forms. This group is referred to by Sir Harry Garner in Chinese and Japanese Cloisonne Enamels, London, 1970, p. 81, where he notes, 'the shapes of these vessels are almost always based on those of ancient bronzes, such as the ku, hu and ting. The vessels are well made and the enamels cover a wide range of colours, generally set against a deep turquoise-blue ground'.
Another Qianlong cloisonne lei vase of slightly different proportions and decoration was sold in these Rooms, 7 June 1993, lot 122.
