It is rare to find a qingbai ewer of this complex form, potted with a ferocious phoenix head. The phoenix head is reminiscent of the famous qingbai phoenix-head ewer, created without a handle, in the British Museum, illustrated in R.L. Hobson, The George Eumorfopoulos Collection, vol. 1, London, 1926, pl. LXXIII. Compare also a qingbai bottle vase with phoenix head from the Manno Art Museum, sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 28th October 2002, lot 519.
