Early 20th-Century Chinese Qianlong-Style Porcelain Vase with Square Seal Mark

A beautifully rendered early 20th-century Chinese porcelain vase executed in the Qianlong style, featuring finely painted famille-rose decoration and elaborate applied ornamental elements. The vase displays a classic baluster form with a flared rim and is richly embellished with applied qilong (mythical dragon) handles, modeled in vibrant turquoise and cobalt hues.

The main painted panels depict elegant courtly figural scenes, including women in garden settings, rendered with precision and delicate brushwork characteristic of high-quality Republic-period decorative porcelain. The surrounding surface is further adorned with floral sprays, auspicious symbols, and scrolling motifs, all executed with a harmonious palette of soft enamels.

The underside bears a square red seal mark, referencing the Qianlong Emperor, consistent with the early 20th-century tradition of honoring imperial styles through revival pieces. The overall craftsmanship—both in painting and applied decoration—reflects the refined artistry associated with the late Qing and Republic era workshops.

This impressive vase stands at 24 inches high and presents beautifully as a standalone statement piece, on a pedestal, or within a fine porcelain collection.
