Cizhou painted vases of this large size are remarkably rare, and only
one other example of this size and design appears to be known,
which was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 2-3 June 2016, lot 665. It
is interesting to note the technique in the use of fine feathery motif
denoting foliage on the present vase, which appears to be an effective
design for slender Cizhou vases. It is noted that vases decorated with
this design, rendered in quick, flicking brush strokes are characteristics
of wares made in the Yuxian kilns in Henan. Compare to two further
similar examples illustrated by Tsugio Mikami in Sekai Toji Zenshu,
Ceramic Art of the World, vol. 13, Shogakukan, 1981, p. 239, no. 256
(49.2 cm.) in the collection of the Tomioka Art Museum; and p. 239,
no. 257 (35.2 cm.).
