The descriptive texts on the vase are taken from the woodblock printed manual Wu shuang pu compiled by Jin Gu Liang during the mid-17th century. The manual describes forty unique (and hence peerless) heroes from the Han to Song dynasties.

Compare with a pair of large 'Wu Shuang Pu' vases with dragon borders sold at Christie's South Kensington, 11 November 2015, lot 723. A similar vase with the same border as the current lot, however without handles, was sold at Christie's London, 10 May 2011, lot 320.
