Rather than asking for this vase to be created, Nicholas Chow – the chairman of Sotheby’s Asian branches – is certain that the Qianlong Emperor received it as a gift. He speculates that it was designed for the ruler’s birthday during his 44th year on the throne. The emperor was a huge lover of art and was renowned for his investment in both his empire’s culture and that of other countries. The vase itself is believed to have been made by Giuseppe Castiglione, a European artist who worked for Qianlong’s predecessor too.
