AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid Chinese vase in polychrome porcelain, finely hand-decorated and dating to the Qing Dynasty (19th century). This piece represents a classic and superb example of Canton porcelain (Guangcai), renowned for its rich color and generous use of gilt.
The vase features a distinctive asymmetric "two-faced" decoration that allows display showing two completely different scenes:
1 A landscape side: A sumptuous and detailed traditional landscape with pavilions, mountains and rivers, dominated by a rich and bright application of gilt gold (raised gilding) and blue underglaze details.
2 A naturalistic side: A refined scene in the "Flowers and Birds" style (Famille Rose), animated by blooming peonies, butterflies, insects, and an exotically plumaged bird finely detailed.
The flared neck and the rim are also embellished with delicate floral scrolls and geometric motifs in pink, green and gold tones.
