5069 - Chinese Fahua Style Meiping Vase

Very decorative Chinese vase of Meiping shape in Fahua style, with apocryphal Jiajing (1522-1566) reign mark, decorated with pairs of Mandarin ducks among lotus and above wave motifs. Probably earlier part 20th century.

Fahua refers to the wares with bold decoration in deep blue, tuquoise, green or yellow and white alkaline glazes. The motifs are first outlined by raised trails of white slip which separates the colors and prevents them from running much like the cloisons in cloisonne - fahua wares are often regarded as ceramic version of cloisonne. Copper was the metallic oxide used for the turquoise color.

Measurements: H 12".

Provenance: Private Collection.

Price: $1,300 $ 1,105
