Very decorative Chinese double gourd vase in Fahua style, apocryphal Jiajing (1522-1566) reign mark and probably dating from the earlier part of the 20th century. Scene of Mandarin ducks among lotus. Fine condition.

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.
