The Bombay Company Blue and White Chinoiserie Porcelain Bud Vase and Tea Set Grouping
A five-piece collection of blue and white ceramic decorative items, specifically identified as products of The Bombay Company, manufactured in China. This set includes three distinct bud vases, a miniature pitcher, and a small lidded sugar or ginger jar. The items are crafted from porcelain with a bright white base glaze and classic cobalt blue underglaze transfers. The vase shapes include a traditional baluster form with floral panels, a double-gourd or hulu vessel featuring pomegranate and blossom motifs, and an ovoid vase decorated with climbing leaf patterns. The pitcher features a ruffled rim and an ornate, dark cobalt handle with traditional floral scrolling on the body. The lidded jar is round with a matching finial and horizontal banding. All pieces exhibit a high-gloss finish typical of late 20th-century mass-market Chinoiserie. The construction is uniform with smooth, machine-finished bases. Condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, though light surface wear consistent with display use may be present on the foot rings. As contemporary reproductions of Ming or Qing dynasty aesthetics, these pieces represent the revival of traditional Chinese export styles marketed for Western home décor between the 1980s and early 2000s.
