About the Item

Sculpted to a traditional Chinese phoenix tail vase form, these elegant early 20th-century vases are adorned with charming scenes of birds & flowers. Brushed with famille rose enamels atop a cool white field, the springtime scenery depicts a pair of yellow & black orioles beneath the swaying leaves of the willow tree, surrounded by branches of pink and white flower blossoms. A pair of orioles is thought to represent a loving friendship, their song imagined as reaching out to a friend or companion. Poetic calligraphy about the beauty of birdsong decorates the opposite side of each vase and two delicate handles flank the necks, bearing traces of the original gilt finish.

Pair of Chinese Famille Rose Rouleau Vases, c. 1900

These rouleau-shaped vases date to the early 20th century and beautifully showcase the intricate decoration characteristic of famille rose ware.
