An Early 20th Century Famille Rose Vase

An early 20th century porcelain vase, having a trumpet neck and cylindrical tapering body, decorated throughout with figures in an imaginary mountainous seascape. With characters.

20th century famille rose and famille verte tends to have a beautifully translucent glaze with crisp black outlines. Examples of the previous century are more dense in colour with a reddish-brown outline. Further to this, the European influences in the decoration to the neck and foot are indicative of this being a 20th century piece.
