Pair of 19th Century Decalcomania Chinoiserie Vases

19th century
Description

A pair of Decalcomania glass vases, circa 1860, with later tin liners.

Decalcomania on glass was introduced in the 18th century as a transfer printing and decorative technique, where printed engravings or motifs were applied to the interior of glass vases and then finished and hand coloured.

This pair of vases are a rare survivor, both as a pair of good size and the glass in undamaged condition with the majority of remaining decoration.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of Victorian Chinoiserie vases dates from 1860 and takes a baluster form with a flared rim. The glass bodies display a pale green glaze finish, decorated externally with decalcomania motifs including Chinoiserie figures, floral branches, and birds. Each piece includes later tin liners and stands on a flat base. The visible manufacturing technique combines transfer printing with hand-coloured details applied to the glass. Measuring 26 cm high by 20 cm wide and 20 cm deep, these items suit placement on a sideboard top within an English country house interior. The pair provides a decorative focal point for living rooms, hallways, or dining spaces, functioning as standalone display objects on flat wooden surfaces.

FAQs

Decalcomania is a decorative technique popularised in the 18th and 19th centuries that involves transferring printed paper cut-outs onto glass vessels, which are then painted and sealed to emulate Chinese porcelain.

These pieces are created using hand-blown clear glass vessels adorned with hand-coloured paper engravings, which are backed with oil or watercolour paint and sealed with protective varnish.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-blown glass characteristics such as subtle thickness variations or pontil marks, minor paint age-crazing, and distinct layered paper edges visible upon close inspection.

Placing a pair symmetrically on a dark mahogany sideboard, marble console, or mantelpiece provides structural balance and introduces intricate historical pattern into contemporary rooms.

Dust the exterior gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid solutions or immersion in water, as moisture can lift the delicate paper transfers and dissolve internal pigments.
