Description
The sleeve vase, with its tall cylindrical form and uninterrupted surface, is one of the most effective formats for displaying the elaborate hand-painted decoration of the Famille Rose palette, and this matched pair, with their flowing dragon motifs and patterned borders, makes full use of that canvas.
Made in Chinese porcelain with Famille Rose style hand-painted decoration, this matched pair of sleeve vases features flowing dragon motifs rendered in the characteristic Famille Rose palette of pinks, greens, yellows, and blues, with patterned borders at the rim and foot that frame the central decoration. The Famille Rose style, developed in China in the early 18th century under the influence of European enamelling techniques, is characterised by its use of opaque pink enamel and a wide range of colours that allow for detailed figurative and decorative painting. Dragon motifs in the Famille Rose palette are among the most collected of Chinese porcelain decorations. The matched pair, in consistent condition, is a strong display piece.
