Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:Double vases were also made at Jingdezhen in the sixteenth century. A polychrome enamel example with phoenix decoration dating to the Wanli era is also in the British Museum (see BM 1937.0716.89). This bottle is very similar in shape to sixteenth-century blue-and-white bottles.
