The present vase is notable for its lustrous and rich tea-dust glaze which was inspired by and simulated the patina characterising archaic bronzes. This type of glaze was achieved through the precipitation of yellow crystals that stood out against the dark green background, producing the resulting chayemo (茶葉末) or 'tea-leaf dust' effect, which gave a rather rich and velvety appearance to the glaze. Its similarity to patinated bronze is further alluded to on the present lot by the thinning areas resembling gilt. This archaism is further underscored by the shape of the vase, which is based on bronzes from the Han dynasty.
Daoguang mark and period teadust-glazed wares are rare, particularly those of the same form as the present lot. See however, a small teadust-glazed jar, Daoguang seal mark and of the period, which was sold at Christie's New York, 19 March 2021, lot 863.
