Lot Essay

This type of dragon vases appears with both cobalt-blue and copper-red painting under Kangxi reign. Blue and white examples of this type of vase bearing a Kangxi mark are particularly rare.
Compare with an identical example, although of a smaller size, illustrated in Kangxi Porcelain Wares from the Shanghai Museum Collection, Shanghai Museum, The Woods Publishing Company, Hong Kong, p.29. Another vase of comparable size, shape and design but with a copper-red dragon is illustrated in The World's Great Collections, Oriental Ceramics, vol.6, Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, London, Kodansha International Ltd., Tokyo, New York and San Francisco, 1982, pl. 49.
