{"product_id":"vintage-blue-white-baluster-floral-vase","title":"Vintage Blue \u0026 White Baluster Floral Vase","description":"\u003cp\u003eA vase like this carries its decoration the way a good story carries a reader, one reserve panel doing all the work. Set against the body's dense floral ground, a figural scene unfolds in confident underglaze blue, a garden or rockwork setting framing the central figure, bordered by a narrow band of small stylized vignettes circling the shoulder. The neck flares gently before drawing back in at the rim, a classic baluster profile that reads as elegant without being fussy. On the base, a hand-painted four-character mark sits inside a double-square cartouche, a detail that adds real character even though the specific characters aren't confidently legible in photos and the mark style itself is one that Chinese workshops continued using long after the reign it originally referenced, so it's presented here as a decorative mark rather than a dated attribution. The unglazed footring shows honest firing marks and a touch of kiln grit, proof of traditional production. \u003cbr\u003eTall enough to hold real presence on its own, it takes a few stems beautifully, as shown, or stands equally well empty as a sculptural object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Era: Vintage, \u003cbr\u003e*Origin: China, blue-and-white export porcelain tradition, figural decoration\u003cbr\u003e*Material: Porcelain with hand-painted cobalt blue underglaze decoration\u003cbr\u003e*Size: 4.5\"(Diameter) x 10.5\"(H)\u003cbr\u003e*Color: White ground with dense cobalt blue floral pattern and a figural garden scene reserve panel; unglazed footring\u003cbr\u003e*Condition: Wear consistent with age \u0026amp; use, blemishes and imperfections will be present. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Chinese blue-and-white porcelain vase with a figural garden scene set against a dense floral ground, hand-painted in cobalt underglaze, with a four-character mark on the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's happening in the figural scene? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt depicts a figure in a garden or rockwork setting, a genre popular across Chinese decorative porcelain for bringing a narrative or literary moment into an otherwise repeating floral composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50670653571309,"sku":"IMG_7971","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_7971_9be0a94f-e286-498e-8bfb-726c27de2cf3.jpg?v=1789167808","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/vintage-blue-white-baluster-floral-vase","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
