QING DYNASTY, 18TH/19TH CENTURY

Compare to the pair of similar vases in the Andrew K.F. Lee Collection, illustrated in Elegance and Radiance, The Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2000, no. 111, which also have Qianlong marks, and are dated late 18th/19th century. The style of carving of the ruby-red overlay to the snowflake ground is very similar, as is the inclusion of walled pavilions on the necks.
