The present vase is notable for its impressively large size and its rare, harmonious design. Even amongst related 17th century cloisonné gu vessels, this example stands as one of the largest. Compare a slightly smaller vase with similarly enameled pink kuilong and archaistic designs, but with eight cloisonné flanges, illustrated in Helmut Brinker and Albert Lutz, Chinese Cloisonné: The Pierre Uldry Collection, New York, 1989, pl. 212, and another, ibid., pl. 178. A similar matched pair sold in our London rooms, 8th November 2017, lot 39.
