About the Item

A Pair of Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Decorated Yellow Ground Hexagenal Vases The pair is formed with tall hexagonal bodies that rise to broad shoulders and straight necks finished with everted rims. Each facet of the body is covered in a yellow ground that serves as the backdrop for famille rose decoration depicting flowering branches, birds, and seasonal plants. The panels include arrangements of peonies, prunus, and bamboo, along with birds in flight and perched among the branches. Additional insect motifs appear throughout the design. The shoulders transition into a sloped section decorated with dense scrollwork in green and black, incorporating large chrysanthemum heads arranged in regular intervals. The necks are painted with smaller floral groupings and insects, framed at the top by a continuous green border with repeating heart shaped motifs. The vases are made in porcelain and decorated in famille rose enamels, a palette developed during the Qing dynasty and noted for its range of soft pinks and greens. The yellow ground is a color often associated with imperial use during the Qing period, and its presence on large decorative vessels such as these suggests a connection to high level production. The upper borders and shoulder patterns show precision in layout and careful division across each facet, confirming a controlled and well executed decorative plan. Large hexagonal vases of this type are uncommon, and the combination of a yellow ground, multi panel famille rose decoration, and extensive patterning on the shoulders contributes to their importance. Their scale makes them suitable for prominent interior placement, and their well preserved condition adds to their desirability for collectors seeking high quality Qing style porcelain.
