The form and deep purplish-blue glaze colour of the present body,
contrasting with the light blue of the handles, appear to be a
direct inspiration from specimens produced during the reign of the
Yongzheng Emperor. A flambé-glazed hu-shaped vase, Yongzheng
seal-mark and of the period, in the collection of the Palace Museum,
Beijing, is illustrated in Qingdai yuyao ciqi, vol.1, Beijing, pl.139.
Compare also with a similar vase, Yongzheng mark and period,
illustrated by R.Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang
Collection, vol.2, London, 1994, pl.834.
A similar flambé-gazed hu-shaped vase, Qianlong seal mark and of the
period, was sold at Sotheby’s London, 9 November 2011, lot 62.
