Subject:18th Century Export Vase?
Posted By: Bokaba Wed, May 31, 2017 IP: 2605:e000:af16:3b00:
Dear Members,

I noticed this vase recently sold on eBay for around $150 (I think it was relist for a nonpaying buyer). It was advertised as 18th Century export. It is perhaps mid-Qing at some point, but the relief of flowers and vines looks unusual. Has anyone seen anything like it before?

Some of the 18th c. Mandarin style exportware used beading and applied leaves to decorate the sides of covered vases. Also during the late 18th to early 19th c., surfaces of heavy beading (called chicken skin) were sometimes used.

This vase seems to borrow the beading technique and applies it to the actual primary floral decoration of the vase.

For this reason, I suspect it is from the 1st half of the 19th c. The inconsistency with well known styles of exportware might explain why there was not much interest.

Thanks Tim. I think it sold for about half the price it did the first time. I think it looks nice and some export wares do generate some interest, but it is usually quite sporadic.

I'll add my two cents worth of opinion. The glaze, levigated foot and incidence of kiln spots and shrinkage could pass for late 19th-early Republic.

Dehua had some masters of applied decoration making Blanc de Chine figural porcelains, and while I've never seen a Dehua garniture-type vase like this, I can almost imagine it as a clobbered Dehua piece.
