About the Item

This impressive vintage Chinese porcelain vase is a striking example of blue and white craftsmanship. Standing at a very large size, it commands attention with its bold form and intricate decoration. The surface is richly hand-painted in cobalt blue, depicting koi fish swimming among aquatic plants and stylized waves, a traditional motif symbolizing abundance, perseverance, and good fortune in Chinese culture. The detailed brushwork captures the lively movement of the fish, while the surrounding water plants and cloud-like patterns provide a rhythmic balance to the composition. The flared rim and base are encircled with decorative borders of lotus and geometric motifs, enhancing the vase’s elegant silhouette. Marked “Made in China” at the base, this piece likely dates from the mid-20th century, reflecting a continuation of classic Ming and Qing-inspired designs. Perfect as a statement centerpiece, this vase would elevate both modern and traditional interiors, either displayed on its own or as part of a collection of blue and white porcelain.
