A Contemporary Jingdezhen Porcelain Artwork
These vases are contemporary handmade works produced in Jingdezhen and inspired by Qing-dynasty Qianlong-period porcelain. The reign mark is an imitation and does not establish an antique date, imperial-kiln origin or historical provenance. Displayed as a pair, their scale and deep blue-and-gold palette suit a spacious entry, reception room or collection interior.
