About the Item

We are delighted to present this elegant Chinese porcelain vase, a splendid representation of the rich and diverse tradition of Chinese ceramic artistry. This piece, steeped in symbolism and crafted with meticulous attention to detail, stands as a vibrant testament to the enduring allure of Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. The vase enchants with its aubergine glaze, a hue that brings a touch of sophistication and depth to the piece. Its double gourd, or "hulu", form serves as a canvas for a vibrant and colourful depiction of hulus intertwined with leaves, a scene that brings a touch of nature's beauty and harmony to the piece. The hulus are decorated in fencai, to give each it's unique and appealing color and shade. The hulu, a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture, is brought to life with vibrant colors and fine detailing, creating a visual narrative that is both joyful and harmonious. Adding a layer of authenticity and historical connection to the piece is an apocryphal Qianlong four-character seal mark, gracefully positioned at the base of the vase. This mark, a respectful nod to one of the most prosperous periods in Chinese porcelain artistry, adds a layer of narrative richness to the vase, connecting it to a lineage of fine porcelain production that has captivated collectors and enthusiasts for centuries. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a curated collection, this vase promises to be a focal point, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Chinese porcelain artistry. Its vibrant imagery and intricate details make it a cherished piece for any aficionado of fine art, promising to bring a touch of elegance and cultural richness to any setting. circa: 20th Century

Japanese Antique Gourd and Eggplant Vase- Brilliant Colors
Located in South Burlington, VT
Another Gem Japan, a fine substantial 11" tall antique monumental green and blue gourd shaped vase with unusual blue egg plant decoration glazed in rich deep green, blue, and brown colored crackled drip glazes. It was crafted by the master artisans of the Japanese southern Awaji Kiln, from the late Meiji to Taisho period (1910s-1920s). The impressive porcelain vase crafted in a classic wabi sabi modernist form with an original multi glazed finish. It is unsigned as many normally were from that period and is in original condition with normal kiln origination surface creation imperfections on bottom. Dimensions: 11 inches tall and 5.5 inches diameter.. Provenance: private north west coast collection. Undoubtedly influenced by the modernist movement and more likely by the visit to the Awaji kilns by the noted English designer Christopher Dresser of Linthorpe Art Pottery...
