Vases of this impressive height would have been very hard fire successfully, accounting for the very few related examples. The current vase is particularly notable for its sturdy potting and vibrant enamels, on which the dragons and pheonix are especially well drawn. A vase of the same shape and design, also bearing a Wanli mark in a double rectangle, but of about half the size (47 cm. high), is illustrated in Mayuyama Seventy Years, vol. 1, Tokyo, 1976, no. 913 (fig. 1).
