This is a magnificent pair of vintage Chinese porcelain vases, styled in the classic "Fish Tail" (鱼尾瓶) shape with a flared rim, slender neck, and a gracefully expanding body that tapers down to the foot.
The vases are decorated in a deep, rich underglaze blue featuring the iconic "Ice and Plum" (冰梅纹) pattern. This motif features a background of cracked-ice lines, overlaid with vivid white plum blossoms that appear to be braving the cold. The "Ice and Plum" pattern is a traditional Chinese symbol of perseverance, purity, and the arrival of spring.
Owning a pair of vases creates perfect symmetry, which is highly desirable in Western interior design. They are perfectly sized (8.7 inches tall) to flank a mirror, frame a doorway, or stand proudly on a console table or mantelpiece. This set brings a striking, classic touch of Chinoiserie elegance to any room.
