It is rare to find soft-paste vases of such high quality,
crisply decorated with imaginative stylised mythical
beast motifs. These Qianlong-period white-glazed
wares are thought to be inspired by the ornately-
moulded creamy-white Ding wares of the Song
dynasty.

Compare with a white-glazed soft-paste
yuhuchunping, decorated with lotus blooms on leafy
scrolls, Qianlong, in the National Palace Museum,
Taipei, illustrated in The Enchanting Splendor of
Vases and Planters: A Special Exhibition of Flower
Vessels from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Taipei,
2014, pp.190-191, no.II-28.

A white-glazed soft-paste meiping, smaller in
size and decorated with peaches, bats and Shou
characters, Qianlong, formerly in the collection of 266
Edward T. Chow, was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong,
11 April 2008, lot 2507.
