Blue-and-White Scrolling Lotus Vase - Porcelain - China - Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)

Description
Elegantly proportioned vase of classic baluster form — with flared neck banded by pointed leaf lappets, broad smoothly rounded shoulder, and gracefully tapering body to a neat foot ring. The exterior is freely and vigorously painted in rich, deep underglaze blue with an undulating continuous band of scrolling lotus: a central prominent bloom anchors the design, surrounded by curling tendrils, stylised foliage and secondary flowers that flow harmoniously around the vessel. The brushwork is fluid and assured, the tone well-saturated with subtle flecking characteristic of hand-painted decoration. A timeless and graceful decorative piece.
