Manufacturer: ANTIQUE CHINESE DOUBLE GOURD BOTTLE VASE W DUTCH SILVER
Antique Chinese blue and white double gourd bottle vase with Dutch silver lid/cover. Made 19th century. <P><P>
Height including the silver top is almost 8 inches; porcelain alone is 6 1/4 inches high. <P><P>
Very elegant double gourd shape. The surface is exquisitely painted with anemones, fish and insects. Great tonality and range of blues on the white ground. Very fine painting.<P><P>
The admiration of this vase over 100 years ago was indicated by the beautiful Dutch silver cap. Deep scallopes on the bottom fit over the top fo the bottle. A wide tyre-shape under arched steps lead to an onion shaped dome, engraved with foliage. The lid is hallmarked with the Dutch silver mark and an A under a star. The silver has a few dings and dents, but nothing to detract from it's beauty. (see 'photos).<P><P>
A feather or leaf is painted in blue on the bottom.<P><P>
Good condition. <P><P>
