The present vase is notable for its lustrous and rich 'tea dust' glaze, representing the technical perfection achieved by the potters working in the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen at the time. This type of glaze, which was exclusively for imperial consumption, was successfully achieved under the supervision of the great Tang Ying (1682-1756), Superintendent of the Imperial kilns during the Yongzheng (r. 1723-1735) and Qianlong (r. 1736-1795) reigns. The flecked olive-green tone was created in the course of high-temperature firing, during which the yellow crystals in the glaze precipitated to contrast against the dark green ground, consequently producing the tea-dust effect.

A pair of closely related vases preserved in the Seikado Bunko Museum, Tokyo, was included in the Museum's exhibition, Seikado zo Shincho toji. Keitokuchin kanyo no bi [Qing porcelain collected in the Seikado. Beauty of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns], Tokyo, 2006, cat. no. 109; one from the Meiyintang Collection, is illustrated in Regina Krahl, Chinese Ceramics from the Meiyintang Collection, London, 1994-2010, vol. 2, no. 936; and another, but with a pale rim, from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is published in Rose Kerr, Chinese Ceramics. Porcelain of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, London, 1986, pl. 25.
