Description

This Large Pair of early 20th century Chinese porcelain vases with elongated baluster forms with flared rims and a vibrant iron-red / coral ground at the neck and foot. The bodies are exquisitely hand painted in delicate enamels depicting elegant female figures wearing kimono offering gifts in a garden landscape setting beneath blossoming trees. The detailed figural scenes are framed by floral and cloud-form borders enriched with gilt accents. The palette includes soft pinks, greens, lavender, black detailing, and gold highlights typical of Republic period export porcelain.

The composition evokes traditional themes of refinement, femininity, and seasonal beauty, highly desirable in Chinese decorative arts and chinoiserie interiors.

Both signed underneath from Dehau, Fujian.

FAQs

Chinese export porcelain refers to ceramic wares manufactured in China specifically for Western markets, often featuring traditional motifs adapted for international tastes during the late Qing dynasty and Republican era.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired petuntse and kaolin clay, traditionally decorated with overglaze enamels such as the polychrome palette and embellished with hand-applied gilding.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit age-related wear to the enamels and gilding, hand-painted brushwork inconsistencies, traditional base marks, and a characteristic weight and resonance unique to vintage hard-paste porcelain.

These items can be displayed as statement centrepieces on large sideboards or placed on the floor in empty corners to add height, colour, and historical depth to modern architectural spaces.

Preserve these items by dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners, keeping them out of direct sunlight to prevent enamel fading, and handling them strictly by the body rather than fragile rims or handles.
