These in turn were inspired by early Persian drinking vessels traded along the Silk Road. Due to the sheer size and shape of these Qianlong vessels, many collapsed in the kiln and were discarded or destroyed. The present example thankfully survived the rigorous quality control at the Jingdezhen kilns despite having slumped in the kiln during the firing process.
