Huge Chinese Porcelain Doucai Decorated Frog Vase Underglaze Blue Late Qing 19c
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.

Tall Chinese Porcelain Bottle Vase Sapphire Blue 6 Char Mark, Late 19thC Qing
Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
This is a very beautiful, highly decorative Tall Chinese bottle vase with a monochrome or single glaze colour of a fine sapphire-blue, which we date to the late 19th century, Qing period .
This Chinese Export vase is well potted on a fairly tall foot, having a globular body, with a long cylindrical stick neck. On close inspection the glaze has a beautiful finely speckled texture, the depth of colour draining from the top rim where it is slightly lighter to a darker shade at the foot where the glaze thickens. The foot rim is well hand cut with an orange coloured iron oxide ring just above the foot rim and below the glaze, where the air hit the porcelain in the kiln. This is a heavy vase weighing about 2.75 Kg unpacked.
The blue is a superb shade of dark sapphire / steel /dark sky blue colour.
The inner neck area and centre of the base are also glazed.
The base carries a hand painted six figure apocryphal Qing Kangxi ( 1662 to 1722) mark but this piece dates to the late 19th Century, in the later part of the Qing Dynasty.
These single colour monochrome vases are often small with heights of about 7 or 8 inches but this is a much larger piece measuring well over 14 inches in height. Its elegant form, reminiscent of the traditional Guanyin vases...
