About the Item

A rich, monochrome red glaze coats this ginger jar shaped contemporary vase, drawing attention to its updated profile and its sculptural Fu dog top. Referred to as shizi, these mythical, canine-like lions are natural protectors. Sculptures of these fearsome animals have stood guard in front of imperial palaces, tombs, temples, and wealthy homes for centuries.

Pair of Chinese Peony Fantail Vases, c. 1920s
Located in Chicago, IL
Resplendent with lush florals and brilliant color, this pair of porcelain vases combines stencil work with hand-painted foliage in a decorative style popular during the first two decades of the 20th century. The stenciled petals and blooms of the peonies, symbols of love and affection, create a graphic pattern of soft, modulated color, while the painted stems and small flowers punctuate the design with sharp detail. Innovative in decoration, the vases are firmly rooted in China’s time-honored ceramic tradition with their Classic fantail contours and butterfly handles.
