It is quite rare to find an example of a double-vase worked in jade.
However, similar examples have been executed in porcelain. For
instance, a Qianlong marked clair-de-lune glazed double vase of
similar proportion is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, acquired in 1879, is illustrated on the museum's website (acc.no.
79.2.952).
