Offered for your approval is this lovely ceramic oriental vase.
The vase is off-white, with applied enamel dark green branches, pale green leaves, squirrels & acorns & white beading over the original enamel.
It measures 10 3/4" tall & has heavy decoration of enamel on top rim of vase. The base has two applied enamel leaves in the center.
The green flecks on the base that appear in the photo are the remains of green felt that apparently once covered the base & I haven't tried to remove them.
We saw one similar in size & shape in a State-run antique shop when we traveled in China & the price was huge. I have also seen a photo of a similar vase in two oriental publications. All three were listed as c. 1850, as Chinese & as porcelain and/or pottery.
Explanations have been that this type of pottery has not kept pace w/the famille rose family in price. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest. |
