It is very rare to find a Ru-type-glazed vase of this size and form, with Qianlong mark. Compare to a closely related vase of the same size sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 27 October 2003, lot 705 (HKD 1,743,750). A Qianlong-marked guan-type vase of similar shape, with somewhat different foot, and also of larger size (69.4 cm.), is illustrated in Chinese Ceramics in the Edemitsa Collection, Japan, 1987, p. 969.
Antiquarianism was a popular repertoire in the ceramics made for the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong emperors, and great efforts were made to copy glazes, shapes and decoration from earlier periods, especially the monochromes of the Song dynasty, including Ru, Ge and Guan wares. In the case of the present vase, the Qing potters have skillfully copied the Ru-type-glaze of the Northern Song dynasty Huizong reign, successfully reproducing the sky-blue hue and unctuous quality of the Ru glaze that had fascinated the Qianlong emperor.
