Pair of Unusual Chinese Blue and White Enameled Porcelain Covered Vases The porcelain Kangxi Period and the enamel decoration of a later date Each of baluster form, painted with four alternate panels of birds amidst flowering branches and rockwork on a lime green ground, and figures in a riverside landscape with large rock formations and overhanging trees on a pinkish purple ground, each scene heightened with gilt detailing, all between chevron, and ruyi head borders, the domed lid with similar design surmounted by a knop-form finial. Height overall 19 1/4 inches. For a discussion of later enameled Chinese ceramics, see D.F. Lunsingh Scheurleer, Chinese Export Porcelain, Chine de Commande , New York/Toronto/London, 1974, pp.178-179, where the author notes that during the eighteenth century, and perhaps as early as the end of the seventeenth century, Chinese ceramics were re-decorated in Europe. Generally the European-decorated pieces are of a small size, mostly tea or coffee wares such as cups and saucers, bowls and tea or coffee pots, and the decoration is in the form of lightly applied floral decoration. The use of large areas of solid enamel decoration is more unusual and there is still a possibility that the decoration on this pair of vases may indeed have been applied in China. C
