Chinese Famille Rose porcelain is decorated with predominantly pink colored enamels which was first used by adding colloidal gold, tiny fragments of gold suspended in water, to the glaze. The technique was introduced to China from Europe during the reign of the Qing Dynasty under the Yongzheng Emperor, who ruled from 1723 to 1735. These vases are sure to be appreciated by enthusiasts of Chinese porcelain. Each vase weighs approximately 3 lbs each (6 lbs total). See less

The handles would be handmade and then applied. The entire piece decorated and fired. There are pinholes no larger than the head of a pin, formed from trapped air pockets during the firing process. No visible crazing or chips. There are visible signs of redecorating areas of wear in efforts to restore the images. In our opinion, not well done. There are no hall marks on the vases, but they have been confirmed to be Circa 1840-1850. We will be happy to provide additional images upon request. less
