Lot Notes

A similar example is in the Koger Collection, illustrated by J. Ayers, Chinese Ceramics: the Koger Collection, p. 164, no. 135; where the author cites that the darker glaze is typical of the later Qianlong period. Compare also with a vase from the Goldschmidt Collection, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 13 November 1990, lot 64, and another, 30 October 2001, lot 841; and to an example of similar size illustrated by R. Krahl, Chinese Ceramics in the Meiyintang Collection, vol. 2, London, 1994, p. 256, no. 935. As with the present vase, all of the cited examples have a gentle ridge at the base of the cylindrical neck, probably as an attempt to disguise the luting line when the vase was potted.
