Elegant Vintage Chinese Famille Rose Vase - 14" Height - Figural & Bird/Floral Scenes - Marked - Circa 1970s-80s
$125.00
Beautifully detailed vase featuring vibrant hand-painted scenes in the Famille Rose style, complete with a distinctive mark.
This exquisite vintage Chinese vase showcases the vibrant and intricate artistry of the Famille Rose enameling technique. Standing at approximately 14 inches tall, it presents two distinct yet equally captivating hand-painted scenes. One side features a lively figural depiction with traditionally dressed individuals amidst architectural elements, while the other showcases a delicate rendering of birds perched amongst lush floral motifs.
The rich polychrome enamels in the characteristic Famille Rose palette – featuring prominent pinks and a variety of other bright hues – bring these scenes to life. The background of the vase has an intentionally antiqued cream color, providing a lovely contrast to the vibrant artwork and lending a sense of vintage charm to the piece. This design choice enhances the visual depth and allows the colorful decorations to truly stand out.
The base of the vase bears a distinctive red mark (please see the provided photo). While definitively dating Chinese porcelain solely based on marks can be complex, this style of mark, combined with the Famille Rose style and the overall aesthetic of the piece, strongly suggests a likely origin in the 1960s to 1970s. This period saw a continuation of traditional porcelain artistry with some stylistic adaptations.
This substantial and beautifully decorated vase would make a stunning addition to any collection of Asian art or serve as an elegant focal point in your home decor.
