The jardinière, of rectangular section, is raised on a simulated stand with ruyi-shaped feet, and has deep
sides with indented corners that fare gently to the everted rim. The vessel has two drainage holes in the
bottom and is covered overall with a Ru-type glaze of even pale blue tone that falls to the unglazed tips of
the feet that have a dark wash.

$60,000-80,000
A very similar jardinière of this rare shape, also with Qianlong mark, and described as Guan-type, was
sold at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 14 November 1989, lot 188, and another with celadon glaze was also sold
at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 12 May 1976, lot 230.
