🏮 Vintage Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Diamond-Shaped Vase / Tea Caddy

🏮 Vintage Chinese Porcelain Famille Rose Diamond-Shaped Vase / Tea Caddy Dimensions: 6” H × 4.25” W × 6.25” D Markings: Red “CHINA” export mark with additional hand-painted characters Condition: Very good vintage condition — no visible cracks or chips. Felt pads protect the feet. This striking diamond-shaped porcelain vase or tea caddy features a hand-painted Famille Rose (Fencai) motif, a decorative enamel palette popular in Chinese ceramics from the late Qing Dynasty through the Republic period (circa 1890–1940). The scenes depict scholars and attendants in a garden pavilion, a classic theme symbolizing prosperity, longevity, and wisdom. Each side is bordered with a soft yellow floral band and pastel geometric trim in turquoise, rose, and ochre hues — colors typical of Republic-era export wares. The red “CHINA” stamp on the base indicates export after 1891, when U.S. import law began requiring country-of-origin marks. The square seal characters further suggest early to mid-20th century craftsmanship. ⸻ 🌸 Features • Hand-painted porcelain in vivid Famille Rose enamels • Unique diamond-shaped body with short neck and four raised feet • Traditional scholar and courtly figures in colorful robes • Symbolic lotus and bamboo motifs representing harmony and strength • Signed and stamped on base ⸻ 💰 Estimated Age & Origin • Origin: Jingdezhen, China (porcelain capital) • Approximate Age: Late Qing to early Republic Period (1890–1930s) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
