Compare with a similarly formed celadon-glazed vase, early 18th
century, sold in our New Bond Street rooms, 6 November 2014, lot 4.

Vases of this shape, most often with a celadon glaze, were popular
in eighteenth century France, where they were often embellished
with elaborate gilt-bronze mounts. An identical example, with ormolu
mounts, is in the collection of the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, U.S.,
accession number 49.2196. Another similar vase but with celadon
glaze, also with ormolu mounts and forming part of a garniture with
two smaller vases mounted as ewers in The Wallace Collection, is
illustrated by S.Jenyns, Later Chinese Porcelain, London, 1951,
pl.XCVI.

For details of the charges payable in addition to the final Hammer Price of each Lot
