Finely decorated in rich cobalt blue underglaze, each vase features charming figural scenes depicting scholars, attendants, and children within tranquil traditional Chinese garden landscapes. The detailed compositions incorporate bamboo groves, ornamental rock formations, lush foliage, garden railings, distant mountains, and birds in flight.

The continuous hand-painted decoration extends around the bodies and onto the shoulders and necks, displaying delicate brushwork and subtle variations in cobalt blue against a luminous white porcelain ground.

Each vase bears a six-character Chinese reign-style mark in underglaze blue on the underside.

Standing nearly 20 inches tall, this handsome pair offers an impressive decorative presence and would make a beautiful addition to a mantelpiece, console, or collection of Chinese export and decorative porcelain. See less
