PAIR OF CHINESE WUCAI PORCELAIN JARS AND LIDS ON EUROPEAN MOUNT
Ming to Qing Dynasty, Ca. 17th Century AD. A pair of Chinese Wucai (five-colored) porcelain vases and jars on European mounts. The vase is decorated with several panels depicting flowers, with a ruyi symbol on each corner of the panels, topped with a scrolling floral band right below the neck. The cover has a similar design. The gilded mounts are in the European style, fitted to support the porcelain vase. It was a particularly common practice of French merchants, known as Marchant Merciers, to add European mounts onto Chinese porcelain to fit the tastes of the European market. 一对欧式底座的中国五彩罐。花瓶上有几幅描绘花卉图，四角各有一个如意纹，瓶颈下方有一条卷草花纹带。盖子 上也有类似的设计。镀金底座为欧式风格，用于支撑瓷瓶。为了迎合欧洲市场的口味，在中国瓷器上加装欧洲风格 的托座是法国商人（被称为 "Marchant Merciers"）的惯用手法。 Size: 480mm x 260mm; Weight: 10.4kg
