Pair of Vintage Chinese Famille Rose Petite Square Baluster Vases With Removable Stands

An exquisite pair of vintage Chinese Famille Rose porcelain vases. Sourced from an antique market in Florence, Italy, these petite, square baluster-form vases showcase a striking visual contrast: one rests on an integrated, crisp white porcelain stand, while the other features a contrasting faux-bois black lacquer-style porcelain base.

Each vase is beautifully embellished with gilded, molded mock-ring lion handles on the neck and decorated with intricate, hand-painted reserve panels. The colorful, highly detailed vignettes alternate between traditional court figures relaxing in garden pavilions, vibrant birds amongst flora, and charming wildlife scenes depicting a white rabbit and an orange tabby cat resting under a weeping willow tree.

Framed by a delicate pink cell-ground border with trailing floral vines, scrolling foliage, and traditional geometric key frets at the rims, this captivating pair makes a sophisticated statement on a mantel, console, or styled bookshelf.
