               ROULEAU VASE
               KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1722)

               PROVENANCE
               Property of a private American collector, actively collecting in the
               1980s and 1990s
               This vase is particularly impressive because of its large size
               and very few examples have survived in collections. Of the few
               that are published, compare the present vase with a similar
               example of the same size and decoration, in the collection of
               the Shanghai Museum, see Wang Qingzheng (ed.), Underglaze
               Blue and Red, Hong Kong, 1987, no. 186. See also two vases
               illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the
               Palace Museum, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed
               Red (III), vol. 36, Hong Kong, 2000, pp. 18-19, nos. 14 and 15:
               one of similar size and decorated with a ‘birthday’ scene; the
               other is of smaller size decorated with a related scholars and
               fishermen in a river landscape scene. Examples sold at auction
               include one decorated with pheasants and flowers in the J.
