This vintage porcelain vase is shaped like a large candle stand and decorated with a blue-and-white Chinoiserie design of an idyllic town square landscape. The transfer ware design recreates Victoria Ironstone wares and features the Royal Arms maker’s mark on the underside. Molded to resemble a taper candlestick, the vase brings the timeless appeal of blue-and-white porcelain to a bookcase, console or table setting.

Blue & White Porcelain

Soon after its development in the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368 AD), blue-and-white underglaze porcelain became a favorite of the imperial court. Its broad appeal rapidly extended beyond China’s borders, becoming a lucrative export commodity highly sought after in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

Using cobalt imported from Western Asia, ceramic artists ground the mineral into a vibrant blue pigment that was then painted directly on a porcelain base, coated with clear glaze, and fired. This underglaze technique brought with it a shift in focus from the overall shape of a vessel to the skill and artistry traceable in its painted decoration.

Transcending time and taste, blue-and-white porcelain continues to be appreciated around the world for the intricate brushwork and brilliant blue color.
