The imagery portrayed in the present lot, known as 'Eight Immortals Venerating the God of Longevity' (八仙拜壽), holds enduring popularity with diverse variations in traditional Chinese art. An analogous composition is seen in a related silk kesi hanging scroll of 'Eight Immortals Venerating the God of Longevity', Yuan dynasty, from the Qing Court Collection, in the Palace Museum Beijing (acc.no.故00072690).
The current jade vase stands out for its remarkable size and substantial weight, making it a rare and noteworthy example within its category. Compare with a related similar size large pale greenish-white jade brush pot, 18th/19th century, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 27 November 2018, lot 86.
