Double-gourd vases are also known as dajiping ‘vase of good fortune’, as the double-gourd, or bottle gourd, symbolises fertility and good fortune.
Compare to a closely related Yongzheng double-gourd vase from the Qing Court Collection, which is also inscribed with an archaic seal script mark, see Porcelains from the Qing dynasty imperial kilns in the Palace Museum, vol. 1, pt. II, Beijing, 2005, no. 200.
Vases of this form grew in popularity in the succeeding Qianlong reign, when greater quantities were produced. See a pair of Qianlong vases, still retaining their covers, illustrated in The Tsui Museum of Art. Chinese Ceramics IV, Hong Kong, 1995, no. 37; and one sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 May 2014, lot 3308.
