    Early 20th Century Chinese Polychrome Porcelain Vase in the Imari Style with a Polybae Shape, Signed Wan Li Chang

    Inspired by Meiji-era Imari porcelain, its polychrome decoration on glazed porcelain is both Japanese-inspired, with its blue and orange hues on a white background, and Sino-European, with its depiction of fauna and flora, including small birds on flowering branches.

    Created in the early 20th century, this vase, with its distinctive organic shape known as "Polybae," is signed Wan Li Chang, which translates to "Prosperity Over Ten Thousand Leagues." This poetic and truthful phrase evokes travel and wealth, as these porcelain pieces were intended for export to wealthy European clients. Wan Li Chang ceramics are renowned for their inspiration from Imari porcelain, adopting its aesthetic while employing the techniques of Chinese master potters.

    Halfway between a decorative vase and an art object, this vase possesses a distinctive sculptural presence: the base, divided into two parts, creates an elegant balance while highlighting the rich Japanese influence of the finely handcrafted design. With its warm color palette, it is sure to attract attention and spark conversation, as this vase embodies the fusion of Chinese, Japanese, and European cultures.

    Fast and careful shipping to France, Europe, and worldwide.
