Pair Chinese Rose Medallion/Famille Rose Palace Vases

Porcelain

 

This beautiful pair of hand made Palace vases are approximately 25" tall. There are 2 garden scenes in large caratauche and 2 garden scenes in smaller caratauche. There is heavy gold gilt trim on the Foo Dog handles and on the 4 serpents or dragons. I cannot read the hall mark but have shown a photo. I believe the age to be early 20th century based on age of the estate they came from. Since they are hand made they are not identical. One is heavier than the other and is approx 1/2" taller. This is very hard to detect unless you are viewing them very closely. The design/decoration is all over on the outside and decorations on the the lip. The glaze on the interior not evenly applied and there is minor wear to the gold gilt in spots. One Foo Dog handle has a flaw that looks like it was broken but when closely examined it was part of the production process. This is a great pair of old vases that would look wonderful in the right home. Please excuse my photography on these since I am experiencing camera problems.
