For a very similar vase said to have come from the Summer Palace, Beijing and presented by the 1st Division to Sir John Michel who commanded them at the sacking on 18 October 1860, see Sotheby & Co., London, 12 November 1974, lot 32.
A closely related spinach jade vase of this size in the Qing Court Collection is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Vol. 42, Jade III, Hong Kong, 2006, p. 76, no. 64, noted by the author that the form may be based on Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain wine bottles, but such vase made of jade only appears in the Qing dynasty, possibly for the display in the Palace.
