See illustration. Provenance: Formerly in the collection of JG Lovell, Esq. (1882-1959) and thence by descent. This exceptional pair of vases may belong to a group of ritual wares that were specially commissioned by the Qing Court for placement on Buddhist altars, for ceremonial use in palaces and temples, either within the Forbidden Palace, or Bishushanzhuang in Chengde. The inspiration for the form comes from Tibetan metalwares that were made as containers for storage of sacred water and used during Buddhist ceremonies. This rare form of altar vase, known as a Benbaping, was made to contain sacred plants. A ruby ground example with the seal mark of Jiaqing, formerly in the collections of Lord Loch of Dyrlaw, Alfred Morrison (1821-1897) and Lord Margadale of Islay, Fonthill House, Wiltshire, was illustrated by S. Marchant & Son on the cover of their catalogue of Recent Acquisitions, 2009.
