About the Item

This tall antique Late Qing Dynasty, early Republic Chinese vase presents a graceful silhouette, its elongated body rising to a wide flared rim with an impressive eight-inch mouth opening. Against a distinctive soft green ground, a hand-painted cobalt blue scene unfolds in fine detail: robed figures in conversation, framed by stylized clouds, rocky outcrops, and cranes, evoking themes of longevity and scholarly refinement. The painter’s confident brushwork varies from delicate line to fluid wash, creating depth within the landscape and bringing the figures’ gestures to life. Applied dragon-form handles flank the slender neck, their sculptural presence adding dimension and a touch of drama to the form. Measuring over twenty-three inches high, this vase offers commanding scale for display on a pedestal or console, where its combination of height, color, and intricate narrative decoration can be fully appreciated. A refined example of blue-and-white porcelain with a rare celadon-toned ground, it brings historical character and decorative richness to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
