The warm yellow ground gives the piece a rich, luminous presence, while the white floral and bird motif adds delicate contrast and movement around the body of the vase.

The vase has a classic baluster silhouette with a flared mouth, rounded shoulder, tapered lower body, and fitted black carved wood base stand. The decoration wraps around the vase, making it attractive from multiple angles. The underside bears a blue Chinese-style mark, along with an old retail/import label reading “Made to Retail Airport Hill N.Y.”

A lovely statement piece for a console, mantel, entry table, bookcase, or chinoiserie-inspired interior. The yellow glaze pairs especially well with traditional, Hollywood Regency, Asian-inspired, and eclectic decor.

Two matching vases are available. They would make a beautiful symmetrical pair for display on a mantel, console table, dining room sideboard, entryway chest, or flanking a large mirror or piece of art. The warm yellow glaze and raised white bird-and-prunus decoration give the pair strong decorative presence, especially in chinoiserie, traditional, Hollywood Regency, or collected eclectic interiors.
