It is rare to find a copper-red decorated vessel with the ‘dragon and
phoenix’ design and fired with such a vibrant and even tone. The
‘dragon and phoenix’ design is more often found on doucai vases of this
period, such as a larger meiping with cover (43.6 cm. high) dated to the
Qianlong period, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of
the Palace Museum,Porcelains in Polychrome and Contrasting Colours,
Hong Kong, 1999, p.259, no. 237.
