The present vase is inspired by neolithic jade of square form with hollowed cylindrical interior; a form rendered from the most highly valued medium and of great symbolic significance. From its inception, the cong has been repeatedly reprised, particularly during the Qianlong reign. The emperor's fascination and reverence for archaic material is well chronicled and served to motivate the artists of Jingdezhen to recreate the ancient form in fine porcelain, smooth-sided and richly glazed. Compare two similar vases sold in our London rooms 9th November, 2011, lot 121 and 13th May 2009, lot 216.
