The rich cobalt blue seen on the current vase is sometimes referred to as
'sacrificial blue'. This name derives from the use of vessels bearing this
coloured glaze during sacrifices at the Imperial Altar of Heaven in the
Ming dynasty. However, it has been noted that during the Qing dynasty
these massive vases were made as part of decorative furnishings for
the Palace. Compare to one in the National Palace Museum collection,
accession number: zhongci001552N000000000. Another example
included in the exhibition, The Wonders of the Potter's Palette, Hong Kong
Museum of Art, 1984, no. 85. Compare also to a Yongzheng mark and
period sacrificial-blue glazed tianqiuping, formerly in the Wang Xing Lou
collection, later sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 30 May 2022, lot 2712.
