Pair Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Mantle Vases with Landscape Panels

$1,200.00

This pair of Chinese blue and white porcelain mantel vases was made in China during the early 20th century in the Kangxi style.
The tall cylindrical bodies are decorated with landscape panels in deep cobalt blue set against a rare molded dotted ground.
The softly rendered scenes depict pavilions, trees, and rivers winding through distant hills, creating the impression of landscapes emerging through mist.

The textured dotted ground provides a strong contrast to the smooth painted reserves, giving the porcelain a distinctive surface.
The rich cobalt blue stands out crisply against the white porcelain, emphasizing both the painting and the molded decoration.

Displayed on a mantel, console, or library cabinet, this pair adds the timeless character of Chinese blue and white porcelain and the quiet atmosphere of traditional landscape painting to a room.

Background

Since its creation in the 14th century, Chinese and overseas consumers have long appreciated Chinese blue and white porcelain.
Blue and white porcelain production peaked during the 18th century when Emperor Qianlong and wealthy Qing customers patronized a significant quantity of blue and white products. In the 19th century, the love for blue and white porcelains continued, and they were beloved decors in Qing interior design. In addition, the Aesthetic Movement launched in England further fanned the “blue and white fever” fire in the late 19th century, which continues to this day.
