Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Altar Vase with Double Happiness Motif
About the Item
This tall blue and white Chinese altar vase features a boldly hand-painted double happiness motif, surrounded by floral scrolls and geometric patterning in traditional cobalt glaze. Likely dating to the early 20th century, the piece was designed for ceremonial or decorative use, its flared mouth - measuring 6.5" diameter and waisted neck offering a classic silhouette associated with Chinese porcelain altar vases. Distinctive applied elements flank the neck, providing subtle dimensionality and referencing archaic bronze forms.
The main body presents alternating stylized peony blossoms and geometric lattice borders, all rendered with fluid brushwork on a white ground. Vertical line decoration along the lower section and a classic fret border around the rim complete the design. The form, balance, and layered decorative schemes speak to the enduring legacy of Qing dynasty aesthetic traditions, though the execution and porcelain body suggest a later production date.
This vase is unmarked but displays appropriate firing characteristics and glaze pooling. It makes a striking standalone decorative accent or can be integrated into a collection of Chinese blue-and-white ceramics.
