For a vase dated to the Qianlong period, of almost identical size and proportions and with identical molded handles, see Sotheby's Hong Kong, 10 April 2006, lot 1735. It too has heavily gilded highlights, although the subject differs. Interestingly, the foot and interior of that example is glazed in turquoise, whilst our example is turquoise glazed to the exterior.
Another slightly taller vase in the Beijing Palace Museum, of an identical profile but with the handles placed slightly higher up the neck, and with a scene of boys in a garden that is dated to the Jiaqing period, also bears comparison, see Porcelains with Cloisonne Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 2008, pp.190-191, no. 168.
