About this Item
A pair of Chinese blue and white porcelain vases, painted with figures in a landscape, bearing a Chenghua mark, 18th or 19th century
height: 42cm; diameter: 23cm
Notes
The vases are of squat baluster form with a flaring trumpet neck, decorated in underglaze blue with a continuous landscape scene showing scholarly figures in a mountainous setting. The imagery reflects traditional literati themes associated with wisdom, retreat and contemplation. The base bears a Chenghua reign mark, a type widely copied in later periods in homage to early imperial wares.
