Property of a private collector.
Purchased from Bonhams, London, 2 November 2009, lot 168.
Greek Private collection formed in the 1950's-1960's, thence by descent.
For an almost identical pair of vases, see 'Chinese Ceramics in the Collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; The Ming and Qing Dynasties' by Christian J. A. Jorg, page 165, Item no 181.
Compare also a vase of this type in Collection Grandidier, Paris, G 3933.
Vases like this are sometimes from a garniture of five. Interesting to compare with the altar garniture vases made during the 15th/16th century. Those most probably made after metal models from Persia or Northern India.
