A vintage Chinese export celadon-glazed vase, circa 1970s–1980s, featuring applied sculptural mother tiger and her cub climbing around the shoulder. The softly modeled animals add a sense of movement and warmth to the form, distinguishing this piece from more formal guardian-lion designs. This vase has a classic baluster profile with a subtly flared rim and vertically fluted lower body, all finished in a smooth celadon glaze with gentle pooling in the recesses. Produced for the American decorative market and retaining its original National Art Interiors importer label on the base. At 8.5 inches high, this vase works beautifully on a bookcase, console, or layered ceramic vignette, adding a quiet Chinoiserie note without overpowering a space.
JUNE'S THOUGHTS
What draws me to this vase is the quiet narrative — a mother tiger with a single cub, rendered with softness rather than drama. It adds warmth and presence to the piece, making it feel personal and human despite its classical form.
