Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage authentic Chinese porcelain baluster-shaped display vase decorated in the traditional Famille Rose (Fencai) enamel palette. The main body showcases a vibrant, hand-painted scene featuring ripe, split-open pomegranates on fruiting branches alongside colorful butterflies mid-flight. In Chinese culture, the pomegranate is a historic symbol of fertility, abundance, and numerous offspring, making this a highly auspicious design. The upper neck and base are adorned with intricate, layered geometric borders, ruyi-head bands, and a distinct key-fret trim along the upper rim in contrasting emerald green and iron-red tones.
The vase is in excellent vintage condition with no structural hairline cracks, deep chips, flea bites, or repairs along the flared rim or footed base. The porcelain body retains a clean white ground with a smooth, bright glaze, displaying only minor, honest shelf wear on the unglazed bottom rim. The hand-applied enamel paints remain crisp, thick, and highly saturated, with minimal rubbing or fading to the decorative details. The underside typically features an iron-red stamped seal mark or a double-ring mark verifying its 20th-century export production.
