Chinese Blue and White Baluster Form Urn or Vase with Crane and Tree Motif

About the Item

A fine antique 19th-century Chinese porcelain large baluster vase decorated with various flowers and objects in low relief and underglaze cobalt blue within a white-glazed ground. The vase has molded stylized handles in cobalt blue to either side of the wide funnel neck with a wider rounded bowl-shaped top. The front is hand-painted with a stylized crane standing on the root of a Bonsai tree with floral decoration on both sides of the crane. It is a classic shape formed from pure white Kaolin clay. Such examples were produced in China for the lucrative European and Middle Eastern markets and continue to be revered today around the world! Perfect as a single dramatic vase or as part of a blue and white porcelain collection. This vase measures 22 inches high by 9 inches in diameter and is most likely from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Similar vases with different motifs are available if you seek a pair of vases.
