Lot Essay

The color scheme of this vase is similar to that of a bottle vase of similar shape carved in relief on the neck with chilong that are similar to those on the present vase, and which has an incised Qianlong four-character seal mark, in the Robert H. Clague Collection, which is illustrated by C. Brown and D. Rabiner in Chinese Glass of the Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911, Phoenix Art Museum, 1987, pp. 32-33, no. 29, where it is dated probably of the period.
