The  reverse  side  of  the  vases  are  relatively  plain  and  are  identical,
            bearing only engraved shield borders with vacant fields.

            The bases are covered in silk and are of identical silk to the lining used
            in the original box for the tea set that is next illustrated.







            Comparing the style and workmanship with Tian Bao Beijing, this bud
            vase [right], apart from the enamel highlighting of the handles, presents
            many similarities in style, technique and quality.
