Description:
Presenting a magnificent and highly ornate vintage Chinese porcelain vase, featuring a slender elongated neck that flares out to a wide mouth, resting on a bulbous lower body.

The vase is entirely covered in a deep, rich cobalt blue glaze. The surface is spectacularly decorated with extensive, bright gilt (gold) detailing. It depicts majestic, sinuous dragons intertwining with scrolling floral vines and auspicious clouds across the neck, shoulder, and body. The base is accented with a band of gilt lotus petals.

Provenance: The base bears a gilt seal mark reading "大清乾隆年制" (Made in the Great Qing Qianlong Period) and is accompanied by an old European museum/collector's label reading "Chi'en-Lung 1736-1796", showing a significant, long-standing history of collection.

Condition: Excellent condition. The glaze is vibrant and glossy with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The gold detailing is bright and well-preserved. The old label on the base 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
