清 鬥彩雙鳳穿花紋尊of archaistic zun form, the pear-shaped body rising from a tall spreading foot to a waisted neck and terminating to a slightly flaring rim, the exterior brightly painted with a pair of phoenixes spreading wings and long tails amongst composite floral blooms borne on meandering leafy scrolls, the neck encircled with a band of floral sprigs alternating with lozenges between raised two bands, all below a ruyi-headed band and further decoration with flowers on tendrils, the foot with a lappet band

The current vase imitates the shape and design of Western Zhou dynasty archaistic bronze vessels, zun. It was produced at a time when archaism became popular in the Qing Court. One of the major activities during the Qing dynasty, especially Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns, was the reproduction and imitation of antiquities, ranging from the manufacture of three-dimensional copies to the creation of two-dimensional pictures of objects from preceding dynasties.Compare this to the Zuobaozunyi Zun (作寶尊彝尊) dated to the mid-Western Zhou dynasty, with similar shape and a pair of large phoenixes as decoration, was in the Qing Court collection and now in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, museum no. Gu Tong 故銅1933. A rare blue and white ‘immortal’ zun vase decorated with Daoist immortals, closely comparable in the zun form to the present example, marked dated to the Yongzheng period, was sold firstly at Sotheby's Hong Kong 2 May 2000, lot 672, and sold later at Beijing Poly, 2-7 June 2011, lot 7281.此瓶造型與設計仿自西周青銅器「尊」。清宮仿古主義盛行，尤其是康熙、雍正、乾隆時期，主要活動之一是古物的複製和模倣，包括立件及描摹前朝古物的畫作。 此件與定年西周中期的「作寶尊彝尊」造型相似，該尊並飾有一對鳳凰，曾為清宮舊藏，現藏於台北故宮博物院，館藏號「故銅1933」。另外一件罕見的青花仙人納福尊，其形制與本品極為相似，清雍正款及年代，先在2000年5月2日香港蘇富比拍出，拍品672，其後在2011年6月2-7日於北京保利售出，拍品7281。
