A garden that never wilts. Painted in Canton for the export trade in the late 19th century, this baluster vase is wrapped in layered famille verte cabbage leaves — a motif long read as a wish for good fortune — with butterflies in iron red, cobalt and gold drifting across the surface. Small applied iron-red dragons climb the shoulder and curl into the handles, and the flared mouth finishes in a gilt rim with a painted floral border inside.
Red "CHINA" export mark on the base. 12 inches tall.
Striking alone, even better in company: a bookshelf, a mantel, or a lacquered console where that green can really sing.
