The representation of a phoenix perched on rockwork next to a vase can often be seen in jade, sometimes as with the present lot with a mythical beast or lion on the cover. See for example a larger pale green jade 'phoenix' vase and cover, 18th century, which was sold at Bonhams London, 6 November 2014, lot 335. For a similar representation on a larger jade vase and cover, with phoenix and lion, 18th century, see H.R.Bishop, Heber R. Bishop Collection of Jade and other Hard Stones. Handbook no. 10, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1909, p.56.
The carver chose a mottled black and cream stone to complement the archaistic form of the vase successfully conveying the sense of antiquity. For a related grey-green and black jade vase and phoenix, 17th century, in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, see R-Y.L. d'Argencé, Avery Brundage Collection of Chinese Jades, Tokyo, 1972, p.112, pl.XLIX.
墨白玉質，瓶身一側雕有鳳凰棲於石上，蓋頂盤踞一隻瑞獸。此類紋飾在玉雕中頗為常見，如一例十八世紀青白玉雕雙鳳蓋瓶，售於倫敦邦瀚斯，2014年11月6日，拍品編號335。紐約大都會藝術博物館亦藏一例十八世紀玉瓶，以鳳凰及瑞獅為飾，較本例稍大，收錄於H.R.Bishop著，《Heber R. Bishop Collection of Jade and other Hard Stones》，手冊10，紐約，1909年，頁56。
本例造型古雅，工匠更選取青白玉底上沁入墨色之石材，間有條帶狀黑紋，傳達出複古之氣韻。舊金山亞洲藝術博物館館藏一例十七世紀青灰玉鳳紋瓶，同以墨色為沁，收錄於R-Y.L. d'Argencé著，《Avery Brundage Collection of Chinese Jades》，東京，1972年，頁112，圖版XLIX，可資參考。
