This piece could be understood as the crowning glory of Tang Ying’s career, after a quarter century of supervising Jingdezhen’s imperial production. It was undoubtedly one of his most fanciful and ambitious projects and probably among the last pieces of importance completed during his tenure, two years before his death, at the age of 73. It is certainly one of his most inventive and memorable masterpieces. This reticulated revolving triple vase is unique and nothing truly comparable to this vessel exists.
