The reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1736-1795) was characterized by the taste for antiques and more specifically for archaic bronzes, manifesting in motifs and shapes borrowed from the archaic repertoire used on various mediums.
The shape of this ewer is inspired by an archaic bronze gourd model (hu), such as an example dating from the Warring States period in the collections of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, acc. no. Gu-Tong-000024-N000000000. This piece can be compared to two vessels of a similar shape from the Qianlong period, one porcelain example from the Grandidier collection preserved in the Musée Guimet, Paris, acc. no. G 5051, and one cloisonné enamel example in the collections of the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, obj. no. B60P286.
