KANGXI PERIOD (1662-1744)

The present vase is larger than most other rouleau vases of this period. For another rare blue and white rouleau vase (77 cm.) of similar size, compare to an example painted with a similar riverscape scene in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Underglaze Blue & Red, Hong Kong, 1987, no. 117. Compare also to a smaller example (45.7 cm.) in the Palace Museum, Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red (III), Hong Kong, 2010, p. 19, no.15.
