While vessels covered in 'robin's egg' glaze were produced in some quantity at the imperial kilns — a glaze innovation attributed to the supervision of Tang Ying — only a very limited quantity of most refined examples bear Yongzheng or Qianlong marks. Vases of this elegant form were executed in a range of glaze types. Compare, for instance, a similarly sized meiping vase with rich lapis-blue glaze sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 30 November 2016, lot 3322, and more recently again at Bonhams Hong Kong, 29 May 2024, lot 385. For Qianlong-marked vases with comparable mottled turquoise and purple glaze pooling, see a lantern vase example sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 November 2019, lot 3079, and a bottle vase sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 7 October 2015, lot 3616.
