Large Famille Jaune Chinese Floor Vase with Millefleurs Ground

This is a monumental Chinese-style porcelain floor vase, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece features a baluster-shaped body with a flared rim and is extensively decorated in the 'Millefleurs' (thousand flowers) style, characterized by a dense, overlapping carpet of floral blooms in a palette of yellow, green, blue, and coral. The ground is heavily textured with these floral motifs, punctuated by large, pale yellow reserves or cartouches. The main central reserve depicts a traditional scene of 'Three Chinese Boys' playing, which is a classic motif representing a wish for many male offspring. A smaller neck reserve contains a floral still life. The craftsmanship appears to be transfer-printed with hand-painted overglaze highlights, typical of export porcelain from the Republic period or later. Standing approximately 3 to 4 feet tall, the vase sits directly on a hardwood floor, indicating its significant scale. The glaze shows a bright, glossy finish with no immediately apparent cracks or large chips, though minor surface scratches and kiln firing imperfections are likely present upon closer inspection. The color saturation is vibrant, particularly the 'famille jaune' yellow background of the panels.
