Form & Structure
• Shape: Each vase has a gently flared neck, rounded shoulders, and a tapering body—an elegant silhouette that works well for display.
• Size: Medium-scaled, ideal for mantel, sideboard, or tabletop arrangements.
• Base: The bottoms are felted, likely to prevent surface scratches, indicating they were intended for decorative rather than utilitarian use.

Decoration
• Design: The surface is adorned with an all-over floral pattern featuring clusters of roses in pink and burgundy, interspersed with smaller blossoms in yellow and blue.
• Borders: Around the neck and base, bands of repeating rose motifs framed by thin gilt lines provide a tailored finish.
• Color Palette: Delicate pastels and deeper pinks stand out against the clean white porcelain ground, giving a fresh yet traditional look.

Style & Period
• Origin: Likely late 20th-century export porcelain, designed for decorative interiors.
• Influence: The floral sprays echo English porcelain patterns, but with a simplified, transfer-printed style common in modern Chinese production for Western markets.

Use & Display
• Perfect for pairing as mantel garnitures, on console tables, or flanking decorative arrangements.
• Their delicate floral design makes them especially suitable for a romantic, cottage, or shabby chic setting, though they also add a touch of color in more traditional rooms.
