Chinese baluster vase

Large Chinese ceramic vase – decoration of birds & flowers. This vase is adorned with a particularly refined decoration, inspired by the great traditions of the so-called famille rose Chinese porcelain. The scene highlights a sumptuous bird with long feathers reminiscent of the phoenix, a symbol of harmony and prosperity, set amidst a profusion of blooming peonies, emblems of wealth and nobility. Multiple birds with iridescent plumage enliven the composition, creating an impression of movement and lightness. The design, precise and delicate, is enhanced by a subtle palette blending pastel glazes with bolder touches. The neck is accentuated by a finely executed ornamental frieze, reinforcing the overall elegance of the piece. The whole evokes the imperial gardens and the refined aesthetic of classical Chinese art.
