Description
This pair of large Canton famille verte vases demonstrates some of the best craftsmanship from late Qing Dynasty China. Each vase is so-called ‘mallet shaped’, having a long, ovoid body with a waisted neck and a flared, or lobed, rim. Each vase features twin double foo dog gilt handles mounted to the neck, the gilding warmly accenting the white-ground porcelain. The body of each vase is profusely decorated, featuring abundant flowers and foliage—the flowers and foliage serving as frames containing painted panels, the panels depicting figural court scenes of a variety of kinds. The colour palette is rich and busy: greens predominated, as is expected with famille verte porcelain, with moments of red and pink contrasting pleasingly.
