This vase is extremely rare both in form and design. Only two other examples appear to be recorded, both inscribed with a Xuande (r. 1426-35) reign mark. One is preserved in the National Palace Museum, Taipei (acc. no. 故-瓷-012450-N000000000), illustrated in Porcelain of the National Palace Museum: Blue-and-white Ware of the Ming Dynasty, Book II, Part 1, Hong Kong, 1963, pls 2 and 2a, included in the Museum’s Special Exhibition of Selected Hsüan-te Imperial Porcelains of the Ming Dynasty, Taipei, 1998, cat. no. 16 (fig. 1). The other was sold in our Hong Kong rooms, 27th April 1993, lot 37 (fig. 2). 
The unusual shape of these vases is illustrated in Geng Baochang, Ming Qing ciqi jiandingAppraisal of Ming and Qing Porcelains, Hong Kong, 1993, p. 47, fig. 82, no. 15, where it is described as meiping shi guan(‘meiping-style jar’). Representing a variation on the classic meipingshape, vessels of this form have a wide neck but no mouth rim and are extremely rare among Xuande wares. 
The scroll of stylized lotus, with pomegranate centers and long stems issuing from the flowers, appears to be specific to the Xuande period and is illustrated in a line drawing ibid., p. 60, fig. 107, no. 5. The design of pendent leaves at the shoulder and upright ones encircling the foot is also uncommon during this period, as this type of border is more often seen on Chenghua (r. 1465-87) porcelains. Compare two Xuande mark and period vases with a similar design: one of meipingform that was included in the exhibition The Exquisite Chinese Artifacts: Collection of Ching Wan Society, National Museum of History, Taipei, 1995, cat. no. 95, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 20th March 1990, lot 522, and again on 27th May 2009, lot 1802; the other vase sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 17th January 1989, lot 572, and later in our London rooms, 18th November 1998, lot 865. 
John D. “Jay” Rockefeller IV (b. 1937) is the great-grandson of Standard Oil billionaire, John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1839-1937), and is the fourth generation in his family to maintain an interest in Asia and a collection of Chinese art. Rockefeller, Sr. sold kerosene to China and supported medical missions in the country, including the establishment of a new medical school. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (1874-1960) was the first in the family to form a serious collection of Chinese works of art, which was principally focused on Qing dynasty porcelains, and eventually donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Jay’s father, John D. Rockefeller 3rd, continued the family legacy by amassing an important collection of imperial Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasty works of art and gave the collection to the Asia Societ
