About the Item
An elegant Chinese blue and white altar vase featuring auspicious objects rendered in deep cobalt blue over a subtly celadon-tinted ground. The tall, slender form rises to a flared rim (measuring 7" diameter) and is flanked by a pair of openwork handles shaped as stylized scrolls or dragons, adding sculptural presence to the otherwise balanced silhouette. The surface is finely decorated with a symmetrical arrangement of scholar’s objects — including scrolls, fans, and floral emblems — interspersed with fluttering ribbons that lend a sense of movement and grace.
The decoration captures the timeless refinement of Chinese porcelain design, where symbolism and artistry meet in perfect equilibrium. The crisp cobalt brushwork sits in delicate contrast against the translucent glaze, whose faint greenish hue gives the piece a soft, ethereal depth.
With its generous proportions and classic altar form, this vase makes an impressive statement as a standalone centerpiece or paired in a display of blue and white porcelain. The combination of sculpted handles, painterly decoration, and subtle glaze tonality evokes both strength and serenity — qualities that have defined Chinese ceramics for centuries.
