PROVENANCE

A Welsh family collection, acquired in London in the 1950s

A nearly identical Yongzheng example is in the Palace Museum,
Beijing, illustrated in Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Hong Kong,
1989, p. 276, no. 105 (fig. 1). A futher example is also be found
in the National Palace Museum, Taipei (acquisition no. zhong-ci-
000325-N000000000). Vases of this form, design and glaze also
continued to be made during the Qianlong period, such as the
Qianlong-marked example formerly in the W. W. Winkworth and
Robert Chang collections, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 May 2008,
lot 1590.

The form and decorative motifs on this vase originated from Western
Zhou bronzes such as the examples illustrated by W. Watson, Ancient
Chinese Bronzes, nos. 52 and 53. During the Qing dynasty this design
was appropriated onto various media such as porcelain, jade and
enamel wares. Refer for example to a champlevé and gilt-bronze vase
dating to the Qianlong period, enamelled with the same archaisitic
scrolling design, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 May 2013, lot 2068.
