Its grand scale and classic Chinoiserie aesthetic make it a perfect statement piece for a mantle, entry console, or as part of a curated blue and white collection. Period: Late 19th to Early 20th Century Material: Hand-painted Porcelain Condition: Excellent antique condition with expected glaze crazing and minor kiln firing flaws.
