Vase modelled after an ancient bronze vessel
Both the shape and glaze of this vase reflects the Yongzheng emperor’s antiquarian taste. Potters modelled the form of the vase on an ancient bronze wine vessel called a zun. Wealthy aristocrats and generals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, (about 1600–256 BC), buried bronze vessels as part of ritual eating and drinking equipment for tombs. The shape was transformed into a vase in the Song dynasty (AD 960–1279) as catalogues of collections of antiques were published with woodblock-printed illustrations. The celadon glaze evokes both Northern Song Ru and Southern Song guan glazes.

仿古青銅器尊形瓶
這件瓷瓶的器形與釉色皆反映了雍正皇帝的尚古審美品位。陶工們以古代青銅酒器尊為模本製作此瓶。商周時期(約西元前1600-前256年)的富有貴族及武將,以青銅器皿作為禮儀用食器與酒器隨葬。在宋代(960-1279年)伴隨木版印刷古物收藏圖錄的刊行,這種器形演變為瓶。瓶子的青釉使人聯想到北宋汝窯及南宋官窯的釉色。
