Blue China Decorative Vase with Fruit Motif and Two Handles

This is a small to medium-sized decorative vase, appearing to be crafted from ceramic or porcelain, exhibiting a vibrant blue glaze with a speckled or mottled finish that suggests a 'sponged' or 'splatter' technique, reminiscent of traditional 'Blue China' styles. The vase features a classic amphora-like silhouette with a flared rim and two symmetrically placed, relatively small handles on either side of the neck, extending from just below the rim to the upper body. The most prominent decorative element is a hand-painted fruit motif on the front, depicting what appear to be three yellow or orange fruits, possibly lemons or peaches, surrounded by green foliage. The painting style seems somewhat folk art inspired, with visible brushstrokes and a slightly naive charm. The background of the fruit motif is lighter, creating a contrast that highlights the artwork. The interior of the vase's mouth appears to be a light, possibly off-white or cream color, indicating a different glaze or unglazed ceramic. Based on the visible image, the condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible, although a more detailed inspection would be needed to confirm this. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact origin or manufacturer. The overall aesthetic suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary decorative piece, likely intended for display rather than heavy utility, given its ornate design and handles. The craftsmanship appears decent for a decorative item of this type.
