It is rare to find Qianlong vases of this quadruple form,
although a similar blue and white vase decorated with
flowers, in the Shanghai Museum, is illustrated in Liu Liang-
yu, Ch'ing Official and Popular Wares, Taipei, 1991, p. 151.
Vases of this type closely follow the Yongzheng prototype.
See a Yongzheng mark and period Ru-type vase, in the
National Palace Museum, Taipei, included in the exhibition
Qing Monochrome Porcelain, National Palace Museum,
Taipei, 1981, cat.no. 77; and a guan-type vase from the
collections of James W. and Marilyn Alsdorf and Robert
Chang, sold recently in these rooms, 9th October 2020, lot
22.
The fashion for multi-spouted vases reached its peak
during the Qianlong reign. For example see a pale-blue
glazed quadruple vase, each constituent vase of ganlanping
form, with a Qianlong reign mark and of the period, sold in
these rooms, 14th November 1989, lot 179; a six-mouthed
conjoined teadust-glazed Qianlong vase in the National
Palace Museum included in the Special Exhibition of K'ang-
hsi, Yung-cheng and Ch'ien-lung Porcelain Ware from the
Ch'ing Dynasty in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1986,
pl. 96; and another similar six-mouthed vase covered with
a clair-de-lune glaze, sold in these rooms, 19th November
1986, and illustrated in The S. C. Ko Tianminlou Collection,
vol. 1, Hong Kong, 1987, pl. 149.
