Lot Essay

A very similarly written Yongzheng mark, on the bottom of a pale celadon-glazed archaistic jar and cover, is illustrated in Qingdai yuyao Ciqi, vol. I, part 2, Beijing, 2005, pp. 428-29, no. 201. The rare size and shape of this vase is closest to a miniature pale celadon-glazed vase, also with compressed body raised on three similar feet, but with a taller neck and 'garlic-head' mouth, and with a Qianlong seal mark, illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, vol. II, London, 1994, p. 201, no. 853.
