About the Item

Presenting a lovely mid-20th century Chinese gilt crane vase. Has a sticker on the base to indicate it was made in Macao. In the Qianglong style with marks. The vase is in near mint condition. It is white porcelain which has been entirely gilted on the exterior and has stylized enameled and hand painted circular black and white ‘squiggles’, white cranes in flight and foliage with blue orchids. Gilt Beaver handles on either side and gilt lizards on front and back . It sits on a wooden stand but we do not think it is original to the piece. It is a very pretty and decorative piece! Made circa 1960-1980. The first polychrome porcelain production in Macau started in 1950. With no substantial increase of the porcelain export during the 1960s, in 1970s the porcelain export started to grow 45% annually, from about 5 million MOP$ (Patacas) per year until it reached about 26 million MOP$ (Patacas) in 1979. One important reason for this was the increase in property value in nearby Hong Kong that gradually pushed out the labor intensive porcelain workshops to less expensive land, which was found in Macau, that was also politically stable still under Portuguese rule. During 1980 to 1986 the porcelain export continued to grow but slower, by 23,5 percent annually. In 1987 Macau Ceramic exports topped the one hundred million Yuan mark until in reached its highest point in 1988 after that the export had increased a further 18.7% over 1987. In 1981 Macau had more than 40 polychrome porcelain factories, employing a total of nearly 2,000 people. The last few decades had seen many small factories closing shop or becoming absorbed by other firms so that by the mid-1980s, fewer factories than before produced more decorated porcelain than ever. output. Some of these were large, in particular Heng Hui Polychrome Porcelain [?????], whose factory occupied several thousand square meters over three floors and employed nearly 1,000 people. Heng Hui also operated a second factory in Shantou (Guangdong Province) which employed another 2,000 people.
