About the Item
Large Chinese Canton famille verte ormolu mounted porcelain vase
Chinese, 19th Century
Height 107cm, diameter 37cm
This magnificent Chinese vase from Canton is decorated in the so-called famille verte manner, wherein the primary colour tones adorning the scenes painted on the body are green. Intermitted among this dominant primary colour are accents in tones of red and pink. The vase is ‘mallet shaped’, a traditional shape evident in many Chinese vases of this period, whereby the body is loosely ovoid and the neck slender.
The vase is decorated with elaborate and profuse decoration of flowers and foliage. The body is painted with scenes of courtly life as well as further natural imagery, interspersed amongst frames created by the extensive foliage. The vase is mounted at the neck with twin parcel gilt foo dog handles, that give the body an extra height, radiance, and luminosity, complementing the lavish painted decoration.
The piece is mounted on a later twentieth century French monumental ormolu base, cast in the Chinoiserie style with clear Baroque influences. Featuring feet cast as dolphins, the highly ornate design elevates the porcelain and creates a stunning piece that combines the best of Chinese and European craftsmanship.

- Chinese Export Famille Verte Porcelain & French Ormolu Chinoiserie CenterpieceBy Edward Holmes BaldockLocated in Los Angeles, CAA very fine and large 19th century Chinese export famille verte porcelain and French figural ormolu-mounted Chinoiserie style centerpiece jardinière, in the manner of Edward Holmes Baldock (1777-1845). The circular-ovoid porcelain bowl or cachepot, maybe 18th century Jiaqing period (unverified), decorated with a blue and purple ground background with parcel gilt depicting pagodas, trees, mountains and landscape scenes, flanking scrolled handles issuing from the base and ending with a finely chased ormolu pierced acanthus rim. The two ends with a projected mask of Chinese Imperial lions or foo dogs, surmounted and raised on six finely chased ormolu masks of Bacchus satyrs flanked by seashell-like mounts. The Ormolu, circa Paris, 1880. The Porcelain circa 1800 (Maybe 18th century.) Measures: Height: 15 3/4 inches (40 cm.) Overall width: 21 inches (53.4 cm.) Depth: 17 inches (43.2 cm.) Edward Holmes Baldock (1777-1845) was a prominent London furniture dealer to the Royal Family, father of Edward Holmes Baldock. He was first listed in the London trade directories in 1805. That listing had him operating out of No.7 Hanway Street in London, where he was described as selling "china and glass". An updated listing in 1821 described his business as "an antique furniture and ornamental furniture dealer", and in 1826 as a buyer and seller of "china, cabinets, screens, bronzes etc". Between 1832 and 1837 he sold earthenware and glass products to William IV, and upon the ascendancy of Queen Victoria in 1837, sold china until his death in 1845. Baldock was one of the first antique dealers and is similar to the 18th century marchands-merciers Dominique Daguerre and Simon-Philippe. He was the father of Edward Holmes Baldock (1812-1875), a British Conservative Party politician, and of Mary Frances Baldock, wife of the philatelist W. A. S. Westoby.
