Very few vases of this type have glazes this exceptional in color. It is also rare to find molded lotus flowers as opposed to peonies. Compare two vases with their mouths reduced and decorated with peonies in the Topkapi Saray Museum, illustrated in Regina Krahl, Chinese Ceramics in the Topkapi Saray Museum, Vol. 1, London, 1986, nos. 204 and 205. For a complete vase of this type in the Palace Museum, Beijing, see Longquan qingci, 1966, pl. 41. Smaller and simpler examples have been found on a shipwreck off Sinan, Korea, datable to about the third decade of the 14th century, included in the Special Exhibition of Cultural Relics found off Sinan Coast, Seoul, National Museum of Korea, 1977, cat. pl. 23.
Longquan vases with molded and applied decoration first appeared in the late Song Dynasty and were produced in large quantities in the Yuan. They were assembled in sections and instead of having a base, the bottom section was closed with an inverted saucer-shaped piece of clay. Compare a similarly shaped yen-yen vase in the Percival David Foundation, London, inscribed with the date corresponding to 1327, illustrated in Margaret Medley, Yuan Porcelain and Stoneware, London, 1974, pl. 58.
