A striking early 20th century Chinese Sancai ceramic lidded floor vase, featuring the distinctive multi-coloured glazed decoration associated with traditional Chinese Sancai ware. The substantial form is complemented by a sculptural lid topped with a Chinese guardian lion (Foo Dog) finial, adding presence and symbolic character to the piece.
Standing at an impressive 120 cm tall, this large decorative vase demonstrates the enduring appeal of Chinese ceramic craftsmanship, combining bold scale, expressive form and richly coloured glaze effects. The guardian lion motif has long been associated in Chinese art with protection, strength and auspicious symbolism.
A commanding statement piece, equally suited to traditional interiors, contemporary spaces or collections of Asian decorative arts.
