Chinese Persimmon Squared Fantail Vase, c. 1920

About the Item

With bright color and sculptural form, this squared vase combines the centuries-old phoenix tail vase form with a rich persimmon-orange glaze, popularized during the Art Deco movement of the early 20th century. The vase is decorated on all sides with poetry and sprays of graceful orchids, symbols of love and beauty. A light blue glaze coats the interior and two faux-handles sit just below the shoulder, shaped like auspicious fu dog guardians. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

    Located in Chicago, IL
    Resplendent with lush florals and brilliant color, this pair of porcelain vases combines stencil work with hand-painted foliage in a decorative style popular during the first two decades of the 20th century. The stenciled petals and blooms of the peonies, symbols of love and affection, create a graphic pattern of soft, modulated color, while the painted stems and small flowers punctuate the design with sharp detail. Innovative in decoration, the vases are firmly rooted in China’s time-honored ceramic tradition with their Classic fantail contours and butterfly handles.
