About the Item

The hunting scene with Asian characters and hunting dogs are one of the compelling subjects of this vase. The detail includes several dogs of different breeds. The vase is a mid to late 20th century Baluster Vase or a meiping vase. It is hand-painted, with signature and was created during the 1940s for Western collectors to have a piece of Asian Culture. Baluster vases have a distinctive silhouette characterized by a high-shouldered body that tapers to a narrower neck. The overall shape resembles that of a plump pear or an elongated bottle. The neck may be elongated and flared or short and straight, depending on the period and style. Chinese baluster vases are typically made from various types of ceramics, including porcelain, stoneware, or earthenware. Porcelain vases are particularly esteemed for their fine quality and translucent appearance. This is a wonderful piece in very good condition.

Gilt Porcelain Large Dresden Two Handled Garniture Vase and Cover
By Dresden Porcelain
Located in Lomita, CA
The porcelain factories of Dresden are renowned for this type of decorative piece and this monumental vase would have been at least one of a pair or part of a three or five piece mantle garniture at some point in its history. Alone, it is stunning. It is hand painted, but the painting is minimal when compared to other earlier examples, especially from the Meissen factory. This covered urn was created in Germany with colorful scenes during the early 20th Century. The covered lid surmounted by a gilt metal foliate finial, the baluster body with two scrolled gilt metal handles painted with a detailed figural setting in a salon with two couples listening to musical instruments their companions play within gilt ecru encrusted borders. Beautiful. This type of porcelain became collectible in the 1960s and reached the height of the market in the 1990s. Since then, fashions have changed greatly, but this is still a statement piece that endures in wonderful condition. and so prices have fallen quite dramatically especially in a traditional auction. However, this is still an impressive piece, signed indistinctly, on a circular socle atop a square raised plinth base. Marked with the underglaze blue Dresden mark...
