Description:
Presenting a magnificent and highly decorative vintage Chinese porcelain vase, crafted in a faceted “Meiping” (Plum Vase) form with a hexagonally shaped rim and a fluted, multi-paneled body.

The vase is covered in a stunning, bright turquoise (green-blue) ground, richly decorated with intricate scrolling floral vines and painted lotus motifs. The fluted sections feature large, shaped white cartouches (open panels) enclosing exquisitely hand-painted "Bird and Flower" (Huaniao) scenes. These panels depict colorful pheasants, magpies, and other birds perched among flowering peach, plum, and peony branches. The base is bordered with a vibrant yellow band featuring floral medallions and geometric patterns.

Provenance: The base bears a blue seal mark reading "雍正年制" (Made in the Yongzheng Period) and is accompanied by an exceptional and highly significant historical label reading “卢吴出口公司 卢芹斋 (C.T. Loo) 1956.2.18”, showing this piece was handled by the legendary Chinese art dealer C.T. Loo in 1956. This is a superb addition to any serious collection.

Condition: Excellent condition. The enamel is vibrant and glossy with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The painted details are crisp and beautifully preserved. The C.T. Loo label is fully intact. Please refer to all photos for exact condition.

This elegant piece makes a stunning focal point for a console table, bookshelf, or as a refined accent in any Asian-inspired or traditional interior. See less
