Pair of Large Antique Chinese Famille Rose Porcelain Palace Vases with Rosewood Stands – 23.5”
A striking and beautifully detailed pair of Chinese Famille Rose Medallion porcelain vases, late Qing Dynasty to early Republic period (late 19th–early 20th century), featuring vibrant hand-painted pastel dragons, elaborate imperial gold gilt lion handles, and red seal marks to the base.
These impressive baluster form vases showcase the classic Rose Medallion-Rose canton export style, with richly enameled figural panels depicting imperial palace interior scenes. Elegantly robed figures-scholars, attendants of noblemen & women are rendered in fine detail within architectural settings of tiled floors, terraces, and draped interiors. Beautiful alternating polychrome panels featuring enameled hand-painted colorful birds perched among flowering vines, lush peonies with butterflies, and auspicious botanical motifs. Intricate paneled borders & generous gilding frame each reserve, creating depth & visual richness.
The flared necks with slightly scalloped lips are adorned with molded & gold gilt lion-form handles and applied decorative elements in relief (rarely seen dragons in light pink & baby blue), enhancing their sculptural presence. The famille rose enamels remain vivid, with strong pink, blue, green, turquoise, and cobalt tones.
This matching pair are presented on rosewood display stands with scrolling legs. These gorgeous chinoiserie style vases make exceptional statement pieces, as mantel granites, console table accents, or flanking a foyer entry. A wonderful example of decorative Chinese export porcelain with stunning visual presence and timeless appeal.
