Exquisite Chinese porcelain vase decorated with a silver medallion, a work that combines the tradition of oriental porcelain with a contemporary and artisanal reinterpretation by the French artist Fabienne Jouvin. The base of the vase, made of white porcelain hand-painted in China, is a reflection of the delicacy and purity that characterizes this ancient tradition. The smooth and shiny enamelled finish is the perfect canvas for contrast with the delicate decorative silver medallion, which represents a horse among arabesques or oriental-inspired vegetal scrolls. It has a rounded and slightly expanded base, while the main body gently tapers towards the neck. The neck is high and cylindrical, topped by a bulbous mouth. This design is reminiscent of the traditional shapes of Chinese porcelain containers, such as ping or hu vases, characterized by their softness and fluidity in the transitions between the different sections. Signature and seal on the base of the piece, Fabienne Jouvin Paris.
