A Chinese blue and white 'floral' bottle vase
Reference: ART1003049
The vase is meticulously decorated with underglaze blue highlighted with stipples in imitation of the ‘heaping and piling’ effect. The slightly tapering cylindrical body is decorated with vertical panels enclosing leafy flower sprays, all between two bands of flower scrolls. The shoulder is decorated with a lappet band below a band of scrolls, and the neck is decorated with further leafy flowers below a band of leafy scrolls to the rim which is repeated on the foot.
