Famille-rose Lantern-shaped Vase with Flower Spray Design

Taking its name from it resemblance to a lantern, this vase became popular at the end of the 18th century. While the interior is glazed in a pine green color, the exterior has a painted “brocade” ground created by a floral pattern that include lotus, peony, and Chinese rose. The inside of the circular foot is also glazed in pine green and bears a blue-and-white inscription that indicates a Qianlong-era of production.
