PROVENANCE
A Japanese private collection, actively collected over the last 20
years
While Bagua-decorated cong-form vases from the Qianlong and
subsequet periods are well-documented, Yongzheng-period examples
in ge, guan or Ru-type glazes are very rare. Only very few examples
have been recorded. A slightly smaller (24.1 cm. high) Yongzheng-
marked ge-type cong vase was sold at Christie’s Hong Kong,
3 December 2008, lot 2562. An even smaller (23.2 cm. high)
Yongzheng-marked guan-type vase with a strap decoration on each
side and bagua at the corners was sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong,
30 October 2000, lot 125.
A wall vase of Guan-type glaze with a Yongzheng mark can be found in
the Beijing Palace Museum Collection, illustrated in Qingdai Yuyao Ciqi,
juan 1, Beijing, 2005, p. 347, no. 159.
