Description from the seller
Chinese Polychrome Crackle-Glazed Porcelain Vase with Applied Ceramic Relief Decoration, late Qing to early Republic period (c. 1890–1920)
Large Chinese porcelain vase, hand-painted in polychrome enamels depicting dynamic battle scenes with warriors, horses, and mythological figures. The decoration is executed in a lively narrative style typical of late Qing and early Republican period export porcelain.
The vase features a naturally aged crackle glaze and applied ceramic relief elements, executed in the same porcelain body and finished with a darker glaze. These relief details are integral to the ceramic structure and not metal mounts.
The base bears a Chinese seal mark consistent with workshop production.
Condition:
Overall good condition. The rim was previously damaged and has been professionally restored using porcelain filler and carefully sanded. The restoration is stable and visually integrated, though visible upon close inspection. No structural cracks observed.
Dimensions:
Height 44 cm; Diameter 17.7 cm; Circumference 63 cm.
A strong decorative example of Chinese narrative porcelain, suitable for collectors of Asian export ceramics.
