The term langyao is derived from Lang Tingji, governor of Jiangxi province and supervisor of the imperial kilns from 1705 to 1712, who is known for reviving monochrome glazes, copper-red in particular.
A copper-red vase of this form in the Metropolitan Museum of Art is illustrated by Warren Cox, The Book of Pottery and Porcelain, vol. I, pl. 157 (bottom center) and another with a slightly shorter neck, in the Baur Foundation, is illustrated in the revised Sekai Toji Zenshu / Ceramic Art of the World, vol. 15, Tokyo, 1983, pl. 255, together with a black-glazed bottle in the Victoria and Albert Museum, pl. 251.
