44: A PAIR OF LARGE 19TH CENTURY CHINESE PORCELAIN VASES

Each baluster form and wide sharp shoulder rising to a waisted neck with a broad flaring circular rim, molded and applied masks suspending small loops, centering decoration of iron-red Buddhist lions and their young gambolling, the other side with poetic texts, the handles as animal masks and 'rings.'
Measure 17 inches each.
Very good condition. There are no chips, cracks, repairs, scratches or areas of heavy wear, noting a star crack in the base of one.
$400 - $600
