Lot details

China, 19th century. The baluster sides surmounted by a trumpet neck with wavy rim, applied with double gilt lion-cub handles and pairs of chilong on the shoulders, finely painted in bright enamels and gilt with shaped panels depicting court and nature scenes against a ground of scrolling vines and peony blossoms.

Provenance: From a German private collection.
Condition: Superb original condition with no restorations, hairlines, or cracks whatsoever. Wear to gilt, each vase with one small loss to one claw of one dragon, both with minor frits to relief applications. One of the hardwood bases with chips and losses, both bases with natural age cracks.

Weight: ca. 46 kg (the pair, excl. stands)
Dimensions: Height 89 cm (each)

Each vase with a matching, finely carved hardwood openwork base, most likely from the period. (4)

Expert’s note: A pair of very large Famille Verte vases such as the present lot, in well-preserved condition with enamels and gilding still so crisp and fresh, and with matching bases, must be considered as extremely rare.
