Standing approximately 30 cm high, the vase presents an elegant traditional form enhanced by an unusually refined decorative palette.

The combination of monochrome grisaille painting with richly coloured enamel decoration gives the piece considerable visual interest, demonstrating the continued influence of traditional Chinese porcelain decoration during the 20th century. Its balanced proportions make the vase particularly versatile for display on a console, sideboard, mantelpiece or within a collection of Chinese ceramics and Asian decorative arts. Presented in good vintage condition with general age-related wear consistent with its period. An attractive and unusual example of Chinese decorative porcelain, combining several celebrated decorative techniques within a single composition.
