The vase is distinguished by its elegant trumpet-shaped form, rising gracefully from a circular base to a wide, flaring opening, giving the piece a particularly striking vertical presence.
The white porcelain ground is beautifully hand-painted with scrolling foliate vines and delicately rendered flying butterflies. The decoration extends across the body of the vase, creating a balanced and decorative composition that complements its elongated silhouette. The combination of the crisp white ground, colorful hand-painted decoration, and graceful form gives the piece a refined appearance while allowing it to remain highly versatile for a variety of interiors.
Standing approximately 17 1/2 inches high and measuring about 11 1/2 inches in diameter across the top opening, this substantial porcelain vase makes an impressive decorative statement. Its generous proportions allow it to be used for displaying flowers, tall branches, or other arrangements, while its elegant form also makes it equally suitable as a stand-alone decorative object. It would display beautifully on a dining table, console, mantel, sideboard, or large entryway table. A decorative and functional example of mid-20th century French porcelain, this vase can complement traditional, French-inspired, eclectic, and more contemporary interiors. The vase is in good condition, without any chips, cracks, or repairs, with minor wear consistent with age and use. See less
