The rich cobalt-blue glaze of this rare 18th century vase is sometimes referred to as 'sacrificial blue', deriving from the use of vessels bearing this colour glaze during sacrifices at the Imperial Temple of Heaven.⠀
.⠀
In 1369, the first Ming dynasty emperor, Hongwu, issued an edict declaring that the vessels used on the Imperial altars should henceforth be made of porcelain. Each temple was associated with a specific color of porcelain — blue used in the Temple of Heaven, red in the Temple of the Sun, yellow in the Temple of Earth, and white in the Temple of the Moon.⠀
.⠀
During the Qing dynasty, however, these massive monochrome vases were made as part of decorative furnishings for the Palace and by the 18th century, refining techniques became quite sophisticated. It is rare to find a cobalt blue-glazed vase of this form and of such large size with a Yongzheng mark, indicating the Qing dynasty emperor who ruled over China from 1722 to 1735.⠀
