Vase in Form of Archaic Bronze
Cataloguing of porcelains with a yellow background remains problematic. Although vases such as this have traditionally been dated to the eighteenth century, it is possible that they were produced in the nineteenth as part of the reinvigoration of trade in Chinese porcelains spurred by the new interest in this material on the part of collectors such as Benjamin Altman.
