Set of Two Vintage Gold Hued Chinese Onion Vases Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This set of two vases comes from Reorient's private collection. They are fantastic examples of hand crafted porcelain wares from the Cultural Revolution era in China. The golden color is unique and the cracking in the glazes lends an impression of age and antiquity to the pair. They are roughly 30 years old but represent an era in Chinese history that is light years behind in terms of technology and civilization. Today China is home to some of the tallest buildings in the world and fastest trains on earth. But these vases were made during time (and only a sort time ago really) when the best technology China could muster was that of its truly ancient crafts, the same arts that brought clipper ships to China's shores in droves during the 16th and 17th century. They are truly beautiful works of porcelain art that show the classic workmanship of Chinese porcelain before automation and big box stores were part of the equation.

This set of richly colored vases are vintage quality porcelain, hand crafted in a traditional kiln in Northern China, circa 1970. Their creation follows the same techniques employed in Chinese porcelain since the 12th century. The color is a rare yellow-gold glaze that is both vibrant and warmly hued. The etched Chrysanthemum design that encircles each vase body is a common motif for prosperity in Chinese art, which is complimented by a delicate leaf design on the neck of the vase. Many classical blue and white porcelains from the Ming Dynasty era share the same decoration. The glaze also has hair-line crazing, often seen on vintage high temperature porcelains. Rather than detract from the character of this rare pair, the slightly crackled glaze enhances the stately appearance. The onion shape vase is a classic in Chinese porcelain but the slender contours give a distinctly modern impression. These vases will make a fitting addition to any estate collection with their unique craftsmanship and one-of-a-kind beauty. Fitted stands are included.
