AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and large baluster vase in Chinese porcelain from the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republican period (circa 1900). The front face is adorned with a rich polychrome decoration in the Rose Family style and Qianjiang cai painting. It depicts a lively scene of traditional figures (courtiers and children, including one riding a qilin) moving about in a garden. The neck is flanked by two stylized relief handles and enhanced by delicate calligraphy accompanied by a red seal. The back of the vase as well as the neck feature long brush-written calligraphic poems in black ink, characteristic of scholarly productions of that era. The base is raw and unmarked, with firing marks typical of Jingdezhen artisan furnaces.
Condition:
Good overall condition with vibrant colors. Note: a small glaze flake on the upper edge of the neck (see photos). Presence of small original firing pin marks ("crab's eyes") in the glaze, attesting to its age. No cracks, no restorations.
Shipping: ultra-secure professional packaging (double carton) with mandatory insurance. Height 42.5 cm, diameter at the neck 17.5 cm
