About the Item
An exquisite pair of early 20th-century blue and white covered lobed baluster vases, a true embodiment of the artistic brilliance that characterizes this period in Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Each vase, sculpted in a classic baluster form, is a canvas that narrates a vibrant tale through its intricate and finely painted details, all under a glaze that possesses an almost watery, wet allure, adding a layer of depth and luminosity to the artwork.
The vases captivate with their lush depiction of melons on vines, a motif that symbolizes fertility and abundance, intertwined with graceful butterflies, a representation of joy and longevity. This harmonious scene is brought to life with a glaze that lends a fluid and dynamic quality to the imagery, creating a visual that is both delightful and deeply evocative, akin to a painting brought to life on porcelain.
Adding a touch of elegance are the covers, each adorned with a graceful ball finial, complementing the fluid nature of the glaze with its balanced form. The shoulders of the vases are graced with butterfly handles washed in underglaze blue, adding a layer of complexity and visual interest to the composition, creating a harmonious balance between form and decoration.
Anchoring these pieces in a rich historical context is the six-character apocryphal Qianlong mark, gracefully positioned on the sunken base. This mark not only authenticates the pieces but also connects them to a golden era of Chinese porcelain artistry, adding a layer of narrative richness to the vases.
