Document source description
The vase is decorated in the lower panel with a picture of a hunting scene, illustrating the accompanying poem in the upper panel that was composed by the Qianlong emperor (reigned 1736–95)—he signed it with the imperial autograph (framed in red). The back of the vase is flat, which allowed it to be hung from the wall of a sedan chair. Although not meant to be seen when in use, the vase’s back is nevertheless covered with a turquoise glaze.
