. A pair of porcelain vases, each featuring a bulbous, elongated body that tapers gently to form a funnel-shaped neck, thereby exuding a harmonious sense of proportion and balance. Additionally, the vases boast stylised openwork handles on both sides of the neck, which not only lend them an aesthetic appeal but also serve as functional elements. The artistic richness of the vases is reflected in their beautifully decorated surfaces, which feature vivid and intricate figurative scenes in the garden. These scenes are rendered in a palette of vibrant colours, which infuse the vases with a sense of vitality and dynamism. Each aspect of the garden is imbued with meticulous attention to detail that reflects the skill and expertise of the artisans who created them. The use of vibrant colours and lifelike depictions imbues these vases with a sense of visual drama and emotional depth. The rear sides of the vases are embellished with black painted calligraphy, which further accentuates their artistic sophistication. The calligraphy is executed with a deft hand, and its intricate swirls and curves lend a sense of fluidity and movement to the otherwise static surfaces of the vases. The use of black calligraphy against a white porcelain background creates a striking contrast that further enhances the visual impact of these vases.Size: L:570-570mm / W:225-225mm ; 10kgProvenance: From the United Kingdom / European estate collections and antique fairs; acquired between 1970 and 2010.
