Blue and White Octagonal Porcelain Vase with Grape and Floral Motifs

This is an octagonal porcelain vase adorned with intricate blue and white underglaze decoration. The vase features a flared, octagonal rim at the top, a tapering neck, a bulbous body, and a conforming octagonal foot. The primary color palette consists of a bright white porcelain ground with cobalt blue detailing. The neck of the vase is decorated with a geometric key-fret border along the rim, below which are recurring floral or stylized lotus patterns interspersed with what appear to be auspicious symbols or mythical creatures. The main body of the vase is divided into eight panels, each showcasing a different hand-painted design. On the visible panels, robust clusters of grapes with large leaves are depicted, suggesting a harvest or abundance motif. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with consistent application of the blue pigment, though some slight variations in tone are natural for underglaze painting. No obvious cracks, chips, or repairs are immediately visible from the provided images, suggesting a relatively good condition. The glaze has a subtle sheen. The style indicates a likely East Asian (possibly Chinese) origin, potentially dating from the mid-20th century or earlier, though without specific maker's marks or clearer provenance, a precise age is difficult to determine. The combination of geometric patterns and naturalistic floral and fruit elements is a common characteristic of traditional blue and white porcelain.
