Object Description
Antique pair of Chinese grey stoneware vases
Chinese, early 20th Century
Height 56cm, width 18cm, depth 18cm
The charming vases in this pair are crafted from stoneware—ceramic that imitates in colouration and texture the appearance of carved stone. Each vase is square profiled, with a pyramidal socle below the body, and a flared neck above. The grey-ground body of each vase is accented with darker grey raised motifs, including twin animal head handles to the neck. The four sides of the body of each are adorned with coloured relief imagery of Chinese country life.
