Antique Chinese Porcelain Blue & White Figural Gu Vase Late Qing R.O.C. 19/20c

About the Item

This late Qing to early Republic of China period Gu vase, stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of Chinese blue and white porcelain, in the revered Kangxi style. The vase is masterfully painted with figures in traditional Qing attire, who are depicted in animated discussions within both interior and exterior settings. This meticulous detailing offers a window into the social and cultural nuances of the era. The vase is superbly potted in the classic Gu form, a shape revered for its historical and aesthetic significance. The painting technique is of exceptional quality, with each brushstroke executed with utmost precision, lending life and depth to the characters and their surroundings. Further enhancing its provenance, the vase features an apocryphal six-character Kangxi mark within the footring. While the mark may not definitively establish the period, it adds a layer of scholarly interest and authenticity. This vase is not just a decorative piece but a slice of history, making it a valuable addition to any collection of fine Chinese porcelain. circa 1900, Late Qing to Early R.O.C. period, late 19c to early 20c
