About the Item

This is a beautiful Chinese Export porcelain Bottle Vase with good Imari hand painted decoration, which we date to the first half of the 18th century, circa 1740 or possibly earlier. This piece was probably made for the Japanese market The vase has an unusual and very decorative square section shape with a narrow necked top, having an everted rim.. The glaze is white with a very slight blue tinge. The porcelain is very white, pointing to an early 18th C date possibly back to the Kangxi period. It is beautifully hand decorated, using various shades of underglaze blue with an Imari palette of over-glaze burnt orange, red, a light salmon color with gold gilded detail. Two sides show a corner of a fenced balcony with a flowering tree above, while the other opposite sides show finely painted peony or chrysanthemum issuing from a rocky base, all within a cobalt blue outer line border. There is a border pattern around the upper body and around the neck. The painting is really well done and has been carried out in a beautiful free flowing style, typical of the period. The base is unglazed and unmarked.

Masons Ironstone Bottle Vase in Chinese Dragon Pattern very rare, circa 1820
By Mason's Ironstone
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a very rare ironstone vase, in the Chinese style, all hand painted in the coloured dragon pattern, made by the Mason's factory in the early 19th century. Both the vase shape and the pattern are very rare. The vase has a bottle shape with a fairly tall neck, having two dolphin head handles, with attached loops. (NOTES ON SHAPE This vase style is a copy of a much earlier Chinese bronze vase shape produced in the Ming, Hongwu period of 1368 - 1398, which had similar decorative animal head side handles with loops. ( See the book Chinese Ceramics by He Li, page 216, published by Thames & Hudson. ). Also On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 204; The square handles and rings illustrate the metal origins of the shape of the vase. Similar examples have been excavated in Chinese tombs dating to the fifteenth and sixteenth century, suggesting that the shape was particularly popular at that time.) This vase is beautifully hand decorated in a more complex variant of the Coloured Chinese Dragon pattern, with strong coloured enamels depicting a green dragon on one side and a pink dragon...
