See a celadon-glazed examplemeasuring 68.6 cmtall, sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 5th November 1996, lot 858 and again in these rooms, 21st March 2018, lot 535, and one with a crackled ge-type glaze measuring 31 cm in height formerly in the collection of T.Y. Chao, and sold multiple times at auction, most recently in our Hong Kong rooms, 8th October 2019, lot 3616.For related archaistic designs on porcelain, compare the chilong medallions carved onto a celadon-glazed baluster vase fromthe Zande Lou Collection, later sold at Christie's Hong Kong, 3rd December 2021, lot 2910.For an example of an archaic bronze vessel that may have served as inspiration for the presentkuilong-form handles, compare the handles cast on an Eastern Zhou (770-256 BC) bronze hu in theNational Museum of Asian Art,Washington D.C. (accession no. F1957.22), illustrated in Jenny So, Eastern Zhou Ritual Bronzes from the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, New York, 1995, p. 39, fig. 53.
