Description
Pair of lidded vases in blue-and-white porcelain, China, Kangxi period (1662–1722)
Of a fluted baluster shape, each vase rests on a small circular foot and features a generously rounded body extending into a slightly flared neck. The body is entirely decorated in underglaze blue with blooming flowers and foliage arranged in continuous scrolls, notably featuring large flowers with radiating petals and smaller flowers alternating with lanceolate leaves. The shoulder and the lower section are highlighted by a frieze of stylised ruyi-head motifs. The domed, fluted lids, finished with a button-shaped handle, are also entirely covered with flowers and foliage in underglaze blue. The bases of both vases are encircled with bronze.
Height: 41 cm (51.5 cm with lid)
Holes in the bases; one lid is missing; the other is missing and has been broken and restored; a chip on the neck of one vase.
