19th C Chinese Celadon Ground Vase: Blue & White Cartouches of Scholars & Elders

About the Item

A 19th Century Chinese Celadon Ground Vase with Blue and White Cartouches of Scholars and Elders A very large 19th century blue and white Celadon Ground Vase, decorated front and back with panels depicting hand painted figural scenes of life in two gorgeous outdoor settings featuring delightfully large twisting trees. The figural works are highly detailed and show the same figures repeated on each side but attending to different activities and through their rearrangement depict a story in two distinct panels. The shade of dark and light blue create a striking contrast and is a stunning example of blue and white Chinese ceramics universally appealing due to the color combination, mirroring the natural blue and white of the sky and with an ability to brighten even the darkest corner of a room. Each figural has a painted border and is surrounded by a delightful flowing arrangement of flowers and foliage with a beautiful Celadon glaze. China: Circa: 1850.
