Condition
There is a 1 x 1 cm dent in the enamels restored with wax on one side, but overall the vase is in quite good condition. The gilded area and the cloison wires retain most of their gilding.

It is interesting to note the depiction and subtle synthesis of the traditional with the innovative on this charming vase. The form is based on the archaic bronze hu ritual vessel, a form that was revived in ceramic wares during the Song period. While the overall symmetrical composition and floral blooms are rendered in the typical Ming style, the curling foliage does not follow the more simplified and robust vines found on Ming vessels. The depiction of leaves and ‘C’ scrolls on the present vase is more closely related to European Baroque foliate scrolls that gained popularity in the Qing court.
