About the Item
Chinese Canton Enamel Baluster Vase and Cover with Four Landscape Reserves, 20th Century
2 Pieces, Vase and Cover
A beautifully enameled Chinese baluster-form vase and cover, dating to the 20th century, likely from the Canton (Guangzhou) enamel workshops. The vase rests on a flared pedestal foot and features a domed lid surmounted by a gilt-metal or bronze finial in bud form. The body is adorned with a vibrant yellow-ground scrolling floral and foliate motif, executed in fine cloisonné-style linework, although this is a painted enamel on copper—commonly referred to as Canton enamel.
Framed within shaped cartouches on the four sides of the body are hand-painted landscape vignettes rendered in sepia tones with iron-red washes. These scenes depict traditional Chinese shanshui (mountain-water) compositions, showing secluded villages, temple complexes, bridges, pine trees, and riverside pavilions nestled among craggy peaks—symbolizing the harmony between man and nature. Each reserve represents an idealized vision of literati retreat, echoing themes from classical poetry and painting.
The finely executed yellow floral ground is populated with lotus, chrysanthemum, and peony blossoms, signifying purity, longevity, and wealth, respectively. The use of bright enamel tones, especially the imperial yellow ground, reflects Qing decorative taste carried into the 20th century, likely for the export or scholar-art market.
The form—with its high shoulder, narrow neck, and broad foot—is a variation of the traditional baluster or gu-shaped vase, intended for altar or decorative use. The interior and base are coated in white enamel, with typical firing speckles visible.
