Antique Chinese porcelain vase, with very fine detailed cobalt blue underglaze designs with flora around the vase's rim, sides, and bordering many panels with incredible paintings (in a famille de rose color palette) of brightly clothed people in bustling city scenes, as well as lovely scenes of nature. The vase has a lid just as wonderfully decorated as the body with cobalt pigment floral designs and detailed paintings, topped with a fu dog lacquered with red, blue, green, and gold. Delicate gold designs akin to dandelion spores dance down the vase's sides. 18th century Size: 21.5" height, 9" width
