About the Item

We are pleased to present this large, polychrome doucai-decorated frog vase, a remarkable piece from the late Qing dynasty. The vase is colourfully adorned in overglaze famille rose and underglaze blue on white ground, techniques that exemplifies this type of Chinese ceramic artistry. The central motif features a vivid tableau of lotus leaves, flowers, and birds. Each element is not merely decorative but steeped in cultural symbolism. The lotus represents purity and enlightenment, while the crane is a symbol of longevity and good fortune. The doucai decoration brings these motifs to life, capturing the nuances of color and form in exquisite detail. Adding to its historical and artistic significance, the vase bears an iron red script Kaishu mark to the base reading "義謙堂龍年製" (Yi Qian Tang Long Nian Zhi). This mark not only authenticates the piece but also situates it within the broader context of late Qing dynasty ceramic production in the Canton region. This vase is not just a decorative object; it is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and rich symbolism that define Chinese ceramic art. Its blend of aesthetic beauty, intricate detailing, and cultural significance makes it an invaluable addition to any collection of Chinese art or ceramics. circa 1900, late Qing Dynasty
