QIANLONG INCISED SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

The glaze on the present vase with brilliant tones of milky blue and reddish purple is particularly attractive and represents one of the best examples of its type. Comparable Qianlong marked-vases of this type include one illustrated by J. Ayers, The Baur Collection Geneva - Chinese Ceramics, vol. III, no. A291; one illustrated in Ming and Qing Ceramics and Works of Art from the Osaka Museum, p. 46, fig. 209; and another by Liu Liang-Yu, Ch'ing Official and Popular Wares, vol. 5, p. 207.
