Famille Rose Polychrome Hexagonal Vase with Figural and Floral Panels

This is a tall, hexagonal-shaped porcelain vase, likely Chinese in origin, characterized by its vibrant 'Famille Rose' polychrome enamel decoration. The vase features a flared rim, a constricted neck, a broad body, and a slightly flared base, maintaining its hexagonal form throughout. The predominant colors in the decoration include various shades of pink, green, blue, yellow, and red, applied over a white or light-colored ceramic body. The neck and body of the vase are divided into panels. Some panels depict intricate floral and fauna motifs, such as butterflies, birds (possibly phoenixes or similar avian creatures), and blooming flowers (peonies, lotuses, etc.) interspersed with auspicious fruits like peaches. Other panels on the main body showcase elaborate figural scenes, possibly depicting imperial court life, scholars, or domestic settings with multiple individuals dressed in traditional attire. These scenes are framed by architectural elements. The shoulder and lower body are adorned with decorative bands featuring geometric patterns, such as the Greek key or 'leiwen' thunder pattern, and stylized floral or Ruyi head motifs, often outlined in gold. A notable feature is the pair of gilded 'foo dog' or mythical beast-head handles, sculpted in high relief, positioned on the shoulders of the vase. These handles add to the decorative opulence and symbolic significance. The overall condition appears to be good with a visible glossy finish, suggesting well-preserved enamels. There are no immediately obvious chips, cracks, or repairs from the provided image, though detailed inspection would be required to confirm. The style suggests an early to mid-20th-century production, though it could be a modern reproduction mimicking earlier styles.
