Crafted from fine white porcelain, each vase is beautifully hand-painted in the vibrant Famille Rose palette. The design showcases large, fully blooming pink and orange peonies resting atop stylized blue rockery, intertwined with flowering branches. Two finely detailed birds, one yellow and one grey, are perched on the branches, adding a lively, naturalistic touch. The bulbous neck is also decorated with delicate pink blossoms. The pristine white ground perfectly highlights the bright enamel colors and the meticulous brushwork.

Dimensions (Per Vase):

Height: 28 cm (approx. 11.02 inches)

Diameter: 16 cm (approx. 6.30 inches)

Maker's Mark:
The underside of each vase bears a six-character seal mark in underglaze blue, arranged in three columns. The characters read "大清乾隆年製" (Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi), which translates to "Made in the Qianlong Period of the Great Qing." 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
