A unique pair of Chinese-carved cinnabar vases from the Cultural Revolution period (1966–1976). These exquisite vases are notable for their identical shapes yet distinct decorations, each standing 15 inches high with a 7-inch diameter. The vases come with a fine pair of carved hardwood stands, enhancing their display and elegance.

The blue enamel interior and base add a striking contrast to the rich cinnabar exterior. One vase features garden landscape vignettes on the front and back, while the other showcases scenes of birds and flowers. Despite these differences, both vases are decorated with an intricate, all-over geometric trellis design, exemplifying the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of this period.

These large cinnabar vases are better than most, offering both artistic beauty and historical significance. Although unmarked, their quality and unique decorative elements make them a valuable addition to any collection of Chinese art. Ready to be placed and admired, this pair of vases is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking to add a touch of cultural heritage and exquisite artistry to their collection or home.
