Vase - Porcelain - Decorative

Large Chinese blue-and-white vase with iron-red 'flower motif' - Tianqiuping style - 20th century

A highly decorative and large Chinese porcelain vase, crafted in the classic Tianqiuping (Celestial Bowl) form. The vase features a vivid decoration of curling lotus and peony scrolls, with underglaze blue masterfully combined with overglaze iron-red (copper-red) accents.

The neck and shoulder are adorned with traditional 'Ruyi' edging and a classic Greek meander pattern, which provides a refined frame for the floral motifs. The bottom features a blue four-character 'Yongzheng' mark inside a double square; this is regarded as an apocryphal mark, appropriate for a 20th-century production.
