Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:A date of between 1325 and 1345 may be taken for this vase by relating it to an incised qingbai example of similar form recovered from the Sinan shipwreck, datable to 1323. Such vases are based on bronze prototypes where the angular mouth and handles would be more appropriate. Vases were used to display cut flowers on domestic altars. Another vase of the same shape, but decorated with ducks in a lotus pond in place of the peonies, is in the Chang Foundation, Taipei.
