It is rare to find a cloisonne enamel vase in cong form but the current vase relates closely to a vase of this shape in the Qing Court Collection (fig. 1), also decorated on the sides with different scenes of pavilions in mountainous landscapes and dated to the mid-Qing period. This example, together with a number of other cong-form vases of different sizes and themes of decoration, is illustrated in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum - Enamels (3) - Cloisonne in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Beijing, 2011, pls. 135-140. Compare also to a Qianlong-marked cloisonne enamel cong vase, enamelled on each facet with two columns of Daoist trigrams in gold, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28 October 2002, lot 779.
This type of unusual cong vase appears to be related to porcelain vases of similar shape produced in the same period, such as a famille rose vase included in the exhibition The Life of Emperor Qianlong, The Macao Museum of Art, 2002, pp. 272-273, no. 87. Like the current vase, this porcelain example also depicts various landscape scenes with pavilions, but only on two of the sides, while the other two sides are inscribed with imperial poems composed by the Qianlong Emperor.
