Pair of Famille Rose "Peaches" Bottle Vases 'Tianquiping'

About the Item

A fine pair of Chinese porcelain "peaches" bottle vases (tianquiping) from the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic period. Well potted and of elegant form, the straight cylindrical neck rests firmly upon broad shoulders before tapering down to a slightly recessed foot. The luminous white porcelain is delicately painted with overglaze famille rose enamels to depict intertwining branches bearing clusters of ripe, luscious peaches among delicate pink blossoms and verdant leaves. Peaches are symbols of longevity in Chinese culture, with a nine-peach motif being an especially popular subject matter for porcelains. Interestingly enough, these vases have ten peaches each.

    Located in Chicago, IL
    During the 18th century, Europeans provided an eager market for Chinese export porcelain, especially the colorful and fanciful ware known as “famille rose.” Named for a palette of opaque overglaze enamels that favored roses and pinks, famille rose porcelain ware was crafted with the same technical virtuosity as imperial porcelain but designed for Western tastes. These rouleau-shaped vases date to the early 20th century and beautifully showcase the intricate decoration characteristic of famille rose ware. Also known as bangchuping (纹棒槌瓶), or 'grain mallet vase', rouleau vases...
