🏵️ Pair Conjoined Chinese Porcelain Vases With Botanical & Calligraphic Design
🏵️ Conjoined Chinese Porcelain Vases – Qianlong-Inspired Design with Botanical & Calligraphic Art
🎯 Subject & Medium
A captivating pair of conjoined Chinese porcelain vases inspired by the elegance of the Qianlong Dynasty, crafted in the late 20th century (circa 1970s). Made from high-quality glazed porcelain, these unique double-bodied vases symbolize harmony, unity, and dual fortune. Traditional Hanzi inscriptions add depth and cultural richness, reflecting the enduring spirit of classical Chinese poetry.
The bases are marked in red with Qianlong-style character seals, paying tribute to imperial lineage.
🖌️ Composition & Technique
These vases exhibit remarkable craftsmanship in both structure and artistry. The rare conjoined form is a visual metaphor for balance and connection. Elegant silhouettes are achieved through flared necks and waisted centers, lending a graceful vertical emphasis.
Ornamental blue geometric borders segment the surface into framed panels, alternating between expressive hand-painted floral scenes and poetic calligraphic inscriptions.
-
Floral motifs include peonies (wealth and honor), chrysanthemums (longevity and virtue), and plum blossoms (resilience and renewal).
-
Birds in flight, such as cranes and sparrows, signify peace, good fortune, and the flow of seasons.
-
Calligraphy in black ink on white panels adds literary charm and cultural sophistication.
The brushwork is crisp and dynamic, and the smooth glaze preserves color vibrancy with a polished finish. This is a beautifully proportioned and symbolically rich pair that seamlessly unites traditional form and artistic finesse.
