Blue and White Delft Large Pear Shaped Vase
$5,700.00This extraordinary Delft vase dates to the late 17th century. It is modeled after Chinese pear-shaped bottles, conventionally known as “yuhuchun bottles,” made since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The vase’s designs are partially inspired by traditional Chinese motifs, though the Dutch artisans did incorporate their own artistic ingredients into the design. The top section is graced by two bands of Asian-style decorations, one featuring seaweed scrolls and the other highlighting diamond patterns. These decorations can often be spotted in “Transitional-style” Chinese porcelains (1630-1670). The vase’s body is ornately painted with a lovely garden scene and demonstrates a seamless combination of Eastern and Western decorative elements. While we see classic Chinese garden landscape components such as butterflies, pierced rocks, a long-tailed bird (probably a pheasant), and banana leaves, European-style trefoils and arabesques distinguish the vase from its Oriental counterparts. The soft blue pigment gives the vase a subtle touch. Viewing this exquisite vase reminds its viewer of the eternal charm of nature.
Dimensions: 18.5″ tall x 8.75″ diameter at the widest point.
Current Condition: Excellent with small edge chips invisibly restored.

Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Vase Made in the Kangxi Era
$7,600.00This Kangxi porcelain vase dates to the early 18th century. It is fully adorned with luxuriant, hand painted, floral scrolls and layered chrysanthemums against a vivid cobalt blue background. Painted in a spontaneous style, vigorous chrysanthemums have been a beloved emblem of a scholar or official’s integrity and dignity in Chinese culture for over a thousand years. The fresh fragrance of the flower was and is popular both in the past and present alike. As a symbol of the fall season when many other blossoms wither, blooming chrysanthemums represent endurance and perseverance.

Pair of Chinese Blue and White Moon Flasks Hand Painted Qing Dynasty, circa 1880
$5,800.00This pair of hand painted Chinese blue and white moon flasks date to the 19th century of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). The body of each vase is fully decorated with a pair of fabulous dragons and floral scroll patterns all executed in a freehand and vibrant style. The pair of dragons represent the forces of nature and are meant to be awe inspiring. They symbolize the protection which that awesome power coveys. The flower design in the center of the body is reminiscent of Xifan hua, or “Flowers of the Western Regions,” an important decoration that can often be identified on earlier Qing porcelains. The decorative handles on each moon flask are in the form of two chi-dragons, designs that can be found on classical bronzes. This gives these Qing era moon flasks an archaic touch. In Chinese society, archaic designs originating from the Prehistoric dynasties of Shang and Zhou (circa 3000 BCE) are thought be unparalleled in their historic and artistic value.
These exquisite flasks would be a good companion to any traditional or contemporary home.
Dimensions: 9.85″ tall x 7″ wide x 2.5″ deep
Condition: Excellent with a very small, 1/4 inch flake on the inside of the mouth of the vase invisibly restored.
