Pair of Late 19th Century Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Jardinières Height 22cm X W 26cm X D 26cm

A rare and highly decorative pair of late 19th-century Chinese blue and white porcelain jardinières, or small fish bowls, dating to circa 1880.

Hand painted in rich cobalt blue on a white porcelain ground, each jardinière features matching decorative boarders framing a continuous central frieze of two opposing dragons amidst flowering foliage. While identical in shape and size, each piece displays subtle variations in the hand painted decoration, reflecting the individuality and artistry of the painter.

Finding an original matching pair from this period is increasingly uncommon, making these an attractive addition for collectors of Chinese porcelain or those seeking impressive decorative statement pieces.

Both jardinières are in very good antique condition, with no repairs, cracks, or chips. There are minor firing imperfections to the glaze, consistent with traditional Chinese porcelain production of the late Qing period and typical of pieces from this era.

Origin: China

Date: Circa 1880 (Late Qing Dynasty)

Dimensions (each): Height: 22 cm | Width: 26 cm | Depth: 26 cm
