A beautiful and highly decorative pair of antique Chinese Export porcelain urns in the Famille Rose palette, dating to the late Qianlong period, circa 1790–1810. Each vase features finely hand-painted armorial decoration with a blue and gilt heraldic shield beneath a crown and flaming heart crest, flanked by cherubs blowing trumpets. The reverse sides are adorned with lush floral bouquets in vibrant enamel colors.
The elegant baluster-form bodies are accented with delicate gilt scrollwork, floral sprigs, and a distinctive pink lattice border around the necks. These pieces were likely commissioned for export to the European market and exemplify the refined craftsmanship associated with late 18th-century Chinese Export porcelain.
An attractive pair for collectors of Chinese Export porcelain, armorial wares, or grandmillennial interiors.
