Large Decorative Chinese Satsuma Style Peacock Floor Vase

This is a monumental-scale floor vase, likely standing between 36 to 48 inches in height, constructed from glazed ceramic or porcelain. The vase features a flared, scalloped rim and a tapered body decorated in the Chinese Famille Rose or Japanese-inspired Satsuma style. The primary decorative motif is a large, centrally framed scenic panel depicting a male peacock with vibrant blue and green plumage, surrounded by cherry blossoms and pink peonies. The neck of the vase is adorned with two pairs of gilded dragon-shaped handles, which are a signature element of 20th-century decorative export ware. The background is embellished with a dense millefleurs (thousand flowers) pattern on a cream-white ground, accented by blue and red glazed bands at the neck and base. Based on the uniform application of the gilding and the specific style of the transfer-printed and hand-finished enamel glazes, this piece likely dates to the late 20th century (c. 1970s-1990s). The condition appears good from the exterior, showing no major structural cracks or chips, though minor shelf wear on the foot rim and slight rubbing on the gold enamel of the dragon handles are to be expected. The craftsmanship reflects mass-produced decorative art intended for the Western export market, characterized by its imposing size and rich, colorful ornamentation.
