Lot Essay

The application of Song-type celadon glazes to porcelain, such as the present lot, was another aspect of archaism seen at the court of the Yongzheng and Qianlong Emperors. Song dynasty glazes that were particularly revered by the Ming and Qing emperors included Northern Song Ru ware and Southern Song Guan ware and Ge ware. Compare to a large Yongzheng hexagonal celadon guan-type glazed vase in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Monochrome Porcelain, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 226, pl. 204.
