A blue and white porcelain vase with composite flower and leafy tendril decoration

Qianlong six-character mark and of the period
Displaying a ground-down rim to the curving shoulder that joins the canted walls of the body with a rounded edge, both surfaces painted in rich cobalt hues with composite flowers issuing from curling leafy stems, the band around the widest part of the body composed of flower heads within facing C-scrolls, descending cloud-collar lappets and lacy leaf scrolls while jeweled lotus petals form the band above the wedged foot, the recessed base drilled through the mark written in seal script and the celadon-tinged glaze applied everywhere except the foot pad.
11 3/8in (28.8cm) high

Footnotes

The distinctive angular profile of this lot recurs in three other Qianlong period vases illustrated in Gugong Bowuyuan Cang Wenwu Zhenpin Quanji 36: Qinghua Youlihong 3 (The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, vol. 36: Blue and White Porcelain with Underglaze Red, book 3), 2010: two of the vases show similar hollow tubular handles applied the cylindrical neck (nos. 130 and 131, pp. 144-145); the third vase is topped with a garlic-shape head (no. 121, p.134). The garlic-headed vase is of particular interest as it shares a decorative program similar to this lot, to include the flower and leaf panels as well as similar lacy lappet bands around the garlic head, shoulder and upper body.

However the closest parallel to the original shape of this lot is a vase with dish-shaped mouth, pankou zun, first offered in the Beijing Hanhai sale of 11 May 2008, lot 2180, and again in Beijing Hanhai sale of 19 May 2011, lot 2334 (both sales listing the vase and 38.1cm high). The neck of the Hanhai vase is encircled with a xiangcai band at the rim, stiff leaves rising above a band of waves at the neck and the remaining decorative motifs very similar but not identical to that of this lot.
