A large and imposing hexagonal form pair of Powder Blue vases dating from the reign of Emperor Chien Lung (Qianlong 1735-1796). The blue ground painted with gilt landscapes, buildings and people, these vases and their decoration are in excellent condition for their age.
There has been some sympathetic restoration to one of the ears/handles. We would be happy to provide additional photographs, videos.
