Very nice. Very Rare indeed ! Thought it was Qinglong at first. Oh well...But U forgot to mention the five clawed Dragon, and the yellow color, which are both ONLY , exclusively for the Emperor. Those are first dead givaways or signs that it "might" be real. Those are 2 very important features that Chinese experts, collectors, & dealers notice first. The clouds at the base, hold up & brace the globular shape, but also help illustrate or symbolize the non-earthly realm or world above the clouds. Interesting symbolism. I'm not an expert , but am familiar with what to look for. Thank U for the video.
Christie's needs to open their own museum for the rest of us with no cash to spend on these kind of things. Though I'm sure I'd be at Christie's every day if I was rich enough.

No mention of the seal at the bottom or the no of claws of the dragon ? 5 for the emperor?
Wow, it is truly extra ordinary!

You can visit their exhibitions for free though...
