Fine 18th-century Chinese Qianlong Period Porcelain Three-piece Garniture Set

Fine 18th-Century Chinese Qianlong Period Porcelain Three-Piece Garniture Set Brief Description: This is a beautiful late 18th-century Chinese porcelain three-piece garniture set, dating to the Qianlong period (1736–1795) of the Qing Dynasty. The set comprises a matching pair of elegant baluster-shaped covered vases, each retaining its domed lid surmounted by a charming moulded Buddhist lion finial, together with a central slender trumpet-shaped vase with a flared rim. Each piece is beautifully decorated with delicate famille rose floral sprays in soft pinks, greens, purples and iron-red tones, framed by intricate underglaze cobalt-blue borders and ornamental motifs against a traditional white porcelain ground. The combination of the rich blue-and-white decoration and colourful enamelled flowers is particularly attractive, creating a wonderfully balanced and harmonious display. A delightful example of Chinese export porcelain, originally intended as a decorative mantelpiece or cabinet garniture, and equally suited to a traditional or contemporary interior.
