This vintage Famille Rose porcelain vase from China measures 10 inches and features intricate hand-painted scenes of the Eight Immortals. The vase is marked with a pinkish color, typical of the Famille Rose style, and depicts figurals in a traditional Chinese design. This piece of Asian antique art is a unique and beautiful addition to any collection, showcasing the craftsmanship and cultural significance of Chinese pottery.
The front depicts the Eight Immortals choosing to cross the rough seas using their unique magical talismans rather than riding clouds. Embodies the core Daoist ideal of ultimate spiritual freedom, detachment, and care-free living. The back tells the story in calligraphy and roughly translates to:
Sailing across the vast blue ocean,
Roaming freely along the paths of the mortal world.
Today, meeting the Queen Mother of the West once again,
Fulfilling the ancient promise made among the Immortals.
Perfect condition with wonderfully bright colors. Thanks for looking!!!
