Each vase features a central circular body with five flared tulip-form spouts and applied side handles with sculpted rings, showcasing the artistry and balance typical of Chinese export porcelain.

The pattern is executed in a classic cobalt blue underglaze, evoking the timeless beauty of Qing dynasty motifs yet perfectly suited for a modern Chinoiserie or Grandmillennial interior. Whether used as flower-holders or displayed as sculptural objets d’art, these vases make an exquisite symmetrical statement on a console, mantel, or bookcase.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Minor age-appropriate wear at the base and glaze consistent with handcrafted porcelain. No cracks, chips, or repairs noted. See less
