An exquisite pair of Chinese porcelain lidded vases, in baluster form and beautifully hand- painted with a traditional decoration of entwining branches of white blossoming prunus set against a deep blue background.The lids are close-fitting, with an acorn-shaped finial topping each one. Please note that there is some minor adhesive-based discolouration to the lids. Although these are not an exact pair, they are almost identical, and would add a dash of oriental elegance to any room.
