Description

24" Fencai Peacock & Peony Vase — Jingdezhen Export

A vibrant, hand-painted porcelain showpiece in the classic famille-rose (fencai) palette. Peacocks perch amid lavish peonies and fluttering songbirds—auspicious symbols of beauty, honor, and prosperity. The flared neck carries floral cartouches framed by cobalt borders; lappet bands trim the shoulder and foot. The underside bears an oval MADE IN CHINA export stamp with a painted work number, placing production in the mid–late 20th century, likely Jingdezhen factory output for the Western market. Big color, big presence—perfect for an entry, mantel, or gallery wall niche.

A cheerful, educational conversation starter: point to the peony (wealth), the peacock (grace and rank), and you’ve just given a mini lesson in Chinese decorative symbolism. 

Condition:
Excellent with no damage noted; bright enamels and clean glaze. Minor kiln specks typical of manufacture may be present.

Dimensions:
24 x 10 (Height x Diameter). Campbell’s soup can shown for scale in the photos.
