Each vase is crafted with a flared rim, a slender neck flanked by stylized openwork handles, and a gracefully tapering body. The pristine white ground is beautifully painted with a continuous botanical scene featuring branches laden with plump, ripe pomegranates in shades of pink and red, interspersed with delicate orange blossoms and green foliage. Two finely detailed birds are perched among the branches, adding a lively touch to the tranquil composition. The reverse side of each vase features a short calligraphic inscription in black ink, accompanied by red seal marks, translating roughly to a poetic phrase about the beauty of the blossoms and fruits. The rims are finished with a subtle gold band.

Dimensions (Per Vase):

Height: 23.5 cm (approx. 9.25 inches)

Belly Diameter: 10 cm (approx. 3.94 inches)

Maker's Mark:
The underside of each vase bears a four-character seal mark in underglaze blue, enclosed within a double square. The characters read "雍正御製" (Yongzheng Yu Zhi), which translates to "Made by Imperial Order of the Yongzheng Period." Note: As is common with vintage decorative pieces, this mark is likely apocryphal and serves as a tribute to the classic imperial style. See less
