Xuande Blue & White Porcelain Gilded Vase

A blue-and-white porcelain vase with gilded accents, its rounded jar form swelling to a broad midsection before tapering to a flat base. Framed by a short neck and double blue rim lines, its surface carries layered cobalt washes of twisting grape vines, lobed leaves, clustered fruit, and long-tailed birds, with select berries and tendrils accented in hand-applied gold. Fired to a smooth, glossy finish over bright white porcelain, each piece varies slightly through hand-painting. It holds fresh stems or dried botanicals or stands alone as a tabletop sculpture on sideboards, consoles, dining tables, and mantels. Suited to New Chinese blended with light French, classic Chinese, and minimalist interiors, it pairs well with neutral furnishings, timber, linen, and blue-and-white palettes. An emblem of abundance, quietly gilded.
