The present vase is a fine example of innovative glazes that were being developed during the Qianlong period and were applied to popular archaic shapes of early bronzes.
An identical vase from the Salting Bequest and now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is illustrated by R. Kerr, Chinese Ceramics, Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, 1986, p. 17 no. 2 (see fig. 1). For a related unmarked vase of this glaze with elephant-head handles, dated to the Qianlong period, cf. Monochrome Porcelain, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Commerical Press, 1999, p. 167, no. 151; where it has been mentioned that turquoise glaze of the Qianlong period is particularly thin thereby the glaze itself often appears with a fine network of crackles.
