Height 197 mm (7.76 inch), diameter 101 mm (3.98 inch), diameter of mouthrim 29 mm (1.14 inch), diameter of footring 58 mm (2.28 inch)

Vase on a footring. Fitted with an unmarked Indonesian silver engraved mount. Batavia Brown covered with underglaze dark brown. Polychrome decorated in various, famille rose, overglaze enamels. On the body leaf-shaped reserves filled with flowering chrysanthemum and peony plants alternating with two smaller reserves filled with a single flowering plant.

This vase probably had an Indonesian provenance and was collected by a (former) owner when he or she lived in the Dutch East Indies. The Indonesian silver mount testifies to the appreciation such heirlooms traditionally had in Indonesian society.

Condition: Perfect.
