A PAIR OF PORCELAIN VASES, China, Republic Period (1912-1949)

In the shape of a baluster column, with elephant-head shaped handles holding rings between their trunks, they are beautifully painted in overglaze blue with lotus scroll; in the centre of the globular body are painted two beautiful landscapes within lobed reserves; in the centre of the base they bear the apocryphal four-character mark in iron red of the Qianlong Emperor.
