PROVENANCE
Sold at Christie’s New York, 22 September 1995, lot 648
It is rare to find a cobalt blue-glazed vase of this form with a Yongzheng
mark. Monochrome blue-glazed vases of this shape and glaze are more
commonly found with Qianlong marks. Compare to two Qianlong vases,
the first of a slightly larger size from the Shorenstein Collection was
sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 1 December 2010, lot 2971; and the other
was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 November 2007, lot 1722.
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.
