"China (canton Porcelain) - Ornamental Vase With Dragon Lizards, 20th Century"
CHINA (Porcelain) - Pleasant ornamental baluster-shaped vase with a flared neck in polychrome enameled porcelain with a rotating decoration in the Famille Rose style on a soft turquoise blue background of trendy birds chirping in the heart of a sinuous and dense mesh of branches, stems and stalks with leaves of flowering plum trees, lotus, chrysanthemums and peonies in bloom with stylized petals. Molded in half-relief, colorful Dragon Lizards (Water Dragon) animate, marrying its shoulder with their serpentine bodies. Equipped with handles affixed with a Dragon Fish motif, the vase is decorated on the internal edge of its neck with a scalloped profile enhanced with a brown-coral net of a coquettish throw of peonies in fresh and charming colors. Black painted braids set its heel. Porcelain production from Canton or Nanking from the first half of the 20th century. Enhanced with the unusual silhouette of Dragon Lizards, this attractive ornamental vase, variegated on its body with shimmering chromatic flowers, will give any interior a note of exoticism, by turns beautifully variegated, piquant and flattering. ------------ Materials: Polychrome enamelled porcelain Dimensions: H.: 35 cm.
