Vintage Chinese Porcelain Landscape Poetry Vases

  

A pair of matching mid-20th century Chinese porcelain vases. White pieces with ornamentally decorated neck and base in black.

The bodies are garnished with mountain landscapes on the obverse and poems from the Siku Quanshu on the reverse. Hieroglyphical hallmark on the bottom of both items. The Siku Quanshu, variously translated as the Complete Library in Four Sections, or Emperors Four Treasuries, was the largest Chinese collection of books published by the order of the Qianlong Emperor in the 1780s. The Library contained classic literary texts, as well as works on philosophy and history. Collectible Oriental Asian Porcelain Ware And Decor.

Dimensions: H 14 1/2 in. Signs of wear and Age. One vase has some damage on the rim. Due to the item's age do not expect items to be in perfect condition and I may not describe every little scratch or spot. Please inquire if you have any doubts.

I will be more than willing to give you additional information. Please inspect all images for more detailed information and condition of items, pictures are part of my description.

I will provide additional photographs if needed.
