The surfaces are richly embellished with extensive gilt detailing, including gold scrollwork, borders, and accents that catch the light beautifully! Each vase showcases vibrant florals, birds, and butterflies framed by ornate gold patterns—a hallmark of late-20th-century decorative export porcelain, and these are likely from the 1970-80's. The bodies have a tall, elegant silhouette with a flared mouth and a square, footed base. Both vases were originally drilled for lamp conversion, a common practice for high-decor export pieces from this era. These make a gorgeous statement flanking a mantel, in an entryway, or as a colorful focal point. I love them as is, or you can add stems or flowers (with an insert). See less
