Shaanxi province and illustrated in Zhongguo Wenwu Jinghua
Dacidian - Qingtong juan, Shanghai, 1995, p. 134, no. 464. A
somewhat broader, lobed, ceramic version of the shape also
appears amongst Song dynasty Guan wares, such as the
vase illustrated in Catalogue of the Special Exhibition of Sung
Dynasty Kuan Ware, National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1989,
no. 54.
The more attenuated form, closer to the current vessel, with
more distinctly flaring foot and mouth is also seen among
Qing imperial porcelain vases without handles. A Yongzheng
example with blue and white decoration in the collection of
the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in Blue and White
Porctlain with Underglaze Red (III), The Complete Collection of
Treasures of the Palace Museum, Vol. 36, Hong Kong, 2000,
p. 93, no. 79. A Yongzheng monochrome copper-red glazed
vase of the same form in the collection of the Palace Museum,
Beijing, is illustrated in Qingdai Yuyao ciqi, juan 1, Beijing,
2005, pp. 38-9, no. 9. Another of the same shape, but with an
imitation guan glaze, also in the Palace Museum collection is
illustrated ibid., pp. 342-3, no. 157.
