With hues from the Famille Verte era, a flawless scalloped rim and a raised relief covering the entire vase surface.
This vase is not fragile it's very heavy, hearty, it's shape and bold paint bring this vase together in celebration of a well loved Chinese staple, Bok Choy!
From the various shades of green to the white stalks of the Bok Choy 3 moths with wide spread wings respectfully add to the exhibition of nature's beauty.
On the base, an iron red six character seal that reads "Da Qing Tongzhi Nian Zhi" which means Great Qing Tongzhi Period Make.
1862-1873 Tongzhi period.
The quality and careful construction far exceed the already high standard demanded from the elite society of governed potters.
Right about now you might be saying to yourself "hmm, ninety five bucks, hundred and fifty years old, governed (poor gifted artisans) elite society and they're only asking ninety five, too good to be true.
Indeed it is too good and is from the Tongzhi period and probably manufactured at the exact same plant, same design, materials, same respect and honoring the Bok Choy only this one was produced around 1955 many moons since the original one that bore the same stamp.
A bit cheeky, shady, deceiving but that doesn't matter when you're holding one in your hands and sense the love that has not swayed since the very first .
