Large Hu-shaped vase, in blue-and-white porcelain, the body and neck decorated with lotus flowers and scrollwork, the shoulder and base respectively accented with foliage motifs and stylised lotus petals, two zoomorphic masks in relief adorning the side.
On the base, a six-character apocryphal Qianlong seal mark in blue.

Provenance: Passed down through the generations of a family of chemists from the Besançon region, who lived in Shanghai and then in Indochina in the 1920s–1940s.
