The Qianlong Emperor had a keen interest in the revival of antiquities, and commissioned the Imperial kilns at Jingdezhen to produce ceramics imitating Song period shapes and glazes. The form of this washer is modelled after Song prototypes; see a Southern Song dynasty guan washer of similar form but without the tripod feet, published in the Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Sung Dynasty Kuan Ware, Taipei, 1989, no. 137.
According to Qing Archives, in the third year of the Qianlong reign (1738), an antique Ge washer was sent to Tang Ying in Jingdezhen from the palace, decreeing the imperial kilns to make faithful copies. The current lot could possibly be one of them.
Washers of this form from the Qianlong period were also made in other glazes and decorations, such as a Ru-type glazed washer in the Nanjing Museum Collection, published in Treasures in the Royalty: The Official Kiln Porcelain of the Chinese Qing Dynasty, Shanghai, 2003, p. 334; and a blue and white washer from the Au Bak Ling Collection, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, The Au Bak Ling Collection Volume II, 30 October 2025, lot 959 (fig.1) .
