Chinese Cantonese style Vase decorated butterflies, late C20th
This is a vase of typical Chinese nineteenth century baluster form with a broad ovoid body narrowing to a near cylindrical neck which flares out towards the galleried rim at the top; each side has two applied and modelled confronting fo dogs. The decoration employs the ‘Famille Rose’ palette with vividly represented flying butterflies amidst flowering peony and lotus; the kylins are finished in iron red and the galleried rim has a band of repeating key pattern. All of this points to the nineteenth century but the brushwork and general appearance of the deccoration indicate a much later date of manufacture, probably late C20th, and the finish of the foot, with its ‘baked in’ imitation dirt, is wholly consistent with this. The fo dogs too are much more sketchily modelled than their older counterparts. But this is a pastiche with great charm and much above the average quality of late C20th work. Even when making copies, the Chinese could sometimes try quite hard!| Size: | Ht 36.5cm Width 18cm (max) Base diam 14cm |
