Hand-Painted Chinese Porcelain Vases | Set of 2

This elegant porcelain vase is a fine example of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, showcasing intricate hand-painted designs and delicate artistry characteristic of the Famille Rose (粉彩, fencai) style.

The vase features a classic baluster form with a flared neck and rounded shoulders. Its surface is richly decorated with vivid enamel scenes depicting a serene garden setting — two finely dressed figures, likely courtiers or nobles, are shown amidst lush foliage, blooming flowers, and traditional Chinese architecture. The figures are rendered in soft, naturalistic tones of pink, green, blue, and gold, typical of 18th–19th century Chinese porcelain.

• Upper Section: Adorned with gold accents and intricate floral scrollwork bordered by geometric patterns.

• Body: The main panel portrays an elegant narrative scene surrounded by ornamental borders in gold, red, and green enamel.

• Base & Rim: Finished with repeating floral and lattice motifs, enhancing the overall harmony of the design.

• Material: High-fired porcelain with overglaze enamel decoration.

• Finish: Glossy glaze with finely detailed, hand-painted enamel highlights.

The Famille Rose technique originated during the Qing Dynasty, particularly in the Yongzheng (1723–1735) and Qianlong (1736–1795) periods. It became celebrated for its use of opaque overglaze enamels that allow for a wide color palette and subtle shading effects.
