QIANLONG SIX-CHARACTER SEAL MARK IN UNDERGLAZE BLUE AND OF THE PERIOD (1736-1795)

It is rare to find Qianlong wares of this from and no other closely related example appears to be published. Compare to a pair of garlic-head vases, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, Chinese Ceramics From The Yangdetang Collection, lot 3133. Also compare to a Ru-type ruyi-handles vase of the Yongzheng period, illustrated in Chinese Porcelain in the S.C. Ko Tianminlou Collection, Hong Kong, 1987, no. 151.
