Vintage Chinese hand-painted porcelain vase – birds & peonies, 38 cm (cracked)

Brightly decorated vintage Chinese porcelain vase, 38 cm high, with hand-painted birds, blossom and peony panels on a dark ground and a yellow floral neck band. The colourful enamel decoration and glossy finish are clear in the photographs; seller describes the piece as vintage Chinese. A visually striking decorative vase for display despite its condition issues.

This vase suits a collector of decorative Asian ceramics prepared to conserve or display a characterful, repaired piece, or a stylist looking for a dramatic prop or accent in a hallway, living room or retail window. It will appeal to buyers seeking bold hand-painted decoration rather than a pristine museum example; use as a stand-alone decorative object or as a restoration project.
