LATE MING-EARLY QING DYNASTY, 17TH CENTURY

A similar gilt, petal-lappet band at the base of the neck and similar multicolored lotus petal borders at the base of the neck and above the foot can be seen on a smaller vase (15 1/16 in.) of similar type, and with similar lotus scroll decoration, illustrated by Claudia Brown in Chinese Cloisonné: The Clague Collection, Phoenix Art Museum, 1980, pp. 64-65, pl. 24, where it is dated to the second half of the seventeenth century. Unlike the present vase, gilt flanges are applied to the neck and body, and the vase rests on a domed foot. Another vase of this type, decorated with lotus scroll and a similar ruyi collar on the shoulder, but with flanges, is illustrated by H. Brinker and A. Lutz in Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, The Asia Society Galleries, New York, 1989, no. 179, and is also dated second half seventeenth century.
