When the present vase was sold at auction in 2002, the catalogue refers to a note by Lord Cunliffe that "P. David thought 17th Century or earlier; Basil Gray and Sir Harry Garner thought 18th Century".

This finely drawn pencil-line technique in underglaze copper-red was an innovative style of decoration that was first developed in the Kangxi period, such as the two examples from the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red (III), The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Commercial Press, 2000, pp. 183-184, no. 167, a jardiniere painted with fish swimming among waterweeds; and no. 168, a brush washer.
