About the Item

Exquisite Pair of Century Chinese Famille Rose Decorated Porcelain Vases with Striking Foo Dog Handles, 1800s. Presenting an awe-inspiring and opulent duo of antique Famille Rose Chinese Porcelain vases, adorned with elaborate motifs and breathtaking craftsmanship. Standing almost waist-high, these vases command attention with their majestic presence and captivating artistry. The prominent aqua background, gracefully envelops each vase, setting the stage for an enchanting display of visual splendor. Delicate white rectangular panels on the neck of each vase feature whimsical scenes portraying highly detailed pheasants, resplendent flowers, intricate foliage, and gracefully entwined tree limbs. The necks culminate in a tulip-edged gold dipped design, lavishly adorned with turquoise enamel that gracefully flows from the lips of the vases into the very heart of their being. The body of each vase showcases larger white rectangular panels, showcasing meticulously hand-painted graceful tree limbs, vibrant pheasants, sprightly sparrows, and charming lyre birds. Amidst this lively scene, an array of multi-colored flowers and leaves effortlessly breathe life into the composition, while charming aqua blue funghi add a touch of whimsy to the spectacle. The aqua background of the remaining surfaces of the vases, is skillfully adorned with enamels in relief, showcasing a plethora of resplendent hand-painted multi-toned colorful blossoms and foliate, meticulously hand painted in mild relief and scattered to create an elegantly harmonious and evenly spread-out design. Gracing the upper belly of each vase, magnificent tiny dragons take center stage in intricate high relief, lavishly painted with 24K gold enamel. Their sinuous forms and exquisite detailing bring a sense of majestic energy to the vases, adding a touch of awe-inspiring grandeur. However, it is the handles of these vases that truly steal the limelight. Crafted with unparalleled artistry, they feature larger Foo Dogs in mesmerizing turquoise enamel and resplendent 24K gold, presented in masterfully executed high relief. These larger Foo Dog playfully sniff the noses of smaller Foo Dog puppies while holding a woven ball, symbolizing protection and good fortune, a representation of the inherent Chinese symbolism within these stunning creations. Finishing off the design with unparalleled elegance, the very lower base band of the vases showcases a mesmerizing geometric pattern, adding a sense of regal refinement to the overall appearance. Indeed, this captivating pair of Chinese Famille Rose Decorated Porcelain Vases with their remarkable aqua backgrounds, harmonious scenes, and magnificent Foo Dog handles, is a testament to the timeless beauty and artistic finesse of a bygone era. A remarkable addition to any discerning collector's repertoire, these vases exude a sense of opulence and grace that transcends time, making them an unparalleled treasure in the world of antique artistry.
