About the Item

Sharing with you this nice pair of Chinese porcelain Vase from the Kangxi period. Visible in the pictures is are slender baluster-shaped vases with a gently widening body and a long neck flaring to a bell shape at the top. Attached to the neck are two opposing elephant head-shaped handles. The body is painted with individual lotus petal-shaped cartouches inscribed with four beautiful women facing away from each other alternating with camellia and peony sprigs. The underside of 1 of the pieces is marked with an artemisia leaf design. The motif of the figures of tall court ladies was commonplace in porcelain decoration from the 1680s and we come across it throughout the Kangxi period. It later gradually faded from the repertoire of the Chinese porcelain painters, however. A range of pieces with this design was also included in the cargo of the Vung Tau shipwreck Country of origin: China Period: Kangxi Size: 16 and 16.5CM height Similar piece pictured in the book of Filip Suchomel, see pictures. 11-3-2025 Condition Vase 1 with small firing flaw to 1 of the handles only.
