QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)

The combination of famille rose decorated panels on a gilt-decorated blue ground such as the present vase must have presented great challenges during the production. The successful potting and fine decorations of the present vase is a testament to the superb techniques of the Jingdezhen potters. Compare with a related vase of this lobed shape but inscribed with poetic verses, preserved in the Palace Museum Collection, illustrated in Porcelains with Cloisonne Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1999, p. 147, no. 129 (fig.1) . Compare with a pair of similarly decorated vases of baluster form, formerly in the J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) Collection, which was sold at Christie's New York, 19 September 2024, lot 1082.
