Miniature vessels of this type were much appreciated by the Yongzheng Emperor who had a penchant for unassuming elegant wares of traditional form and simple design inspired by  Chinese ink painting. This vase may be after slightly earlier, Kangxi period, doucai meiping, although of larger dimensions but delicately painted with songbirds perched on blossoming branches, such as the piece sold in our London rooms, 24th October 1994, lot 145.

For examples of other Yongzheng miniature vessels see a double-gourd form doucai vase, in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in Yeh Pei-Lang, Gems of the Doucai, Taipei, 1993, pl. 93, decorated in a similar painterly style with grape vines and a small squirrel inspired by Ming dynasty designs; and another globular bottle vase, ibid., pl. 98, from the Chang Foundation, Taipei.
