道光 Daoguang Famille Rose Wall Vase
An exquisitely well painted wall vase of squat baluster
form. From the short flared neck the generous wide shoulders rapidly curve
inward to a narrow base profile with a recessed foot. The vase is decorated in the famille rose
palette in the manner of Qianlong, vividly painted in fencai enamels
depicting a pair of quail on a grassy knoll beneath large rocks and tree
surrounded by blooming chrysanthemums and lilies. The
interior, base and reverse of the vase are glazed white. There are fourteen
spur marks on the reverse and two sets of holes to fasten the vase to the stand
and a notched opening for hanging the vase on the wall. |
