A Pair of Chinese Porcelain Gu Vases, the upper register decorated with three fruiting sprigs of pomegranates and finger citron, the bulbous central register with a branch of fruiting peach, the basal register with further pomegranate and finger citron branches within horizontal parallel lines, each base bearing underglaze blue painted six character marks of Qianlong, and possibly of the period, 25.4cm high
Not Sold

 

Vase 1 - the rim slightly grazed in places and the open trumpet neck displaying a considerable number of black impurities caught within the glaze. The upper register has some smudging around the underglaze blue painted branches, and the parallel lines throughout the vase are a little faint. Otherwise, apart from other odd glaze impurities and pimples the piece is in good overall condition. Vase 2 - very similar to the preceding, but with blackened blister to the turned foot rim and some impurities just on the glaze above the turned footrim. 190911
