A rare, heavy and very finely potted pair of bottle vases well decorated with stylized lotus flowers in underglaze blue with Doucai style overglaze enamel decoration. The base carries a tributory four character Kangxi (1662-1722) reign mark but this item was made later - during the reign of the Guangxu emperor (1875-1908). The vase shape - Yutangchun ("Jade Hall Spring") first seems to appear during the Guangxu reign and identical over glaze enamel decoration can be found on Guangxu mark and period pieces (please compare with item/stock number 318 in our catalogue) suggesting that they were made in the same location but probably not destined for the Imperial court. Condition - excellent - there is wear to the gilding and very minor surface wear consistent with age; one vase has a tiny rim chip (please see enlargement no. 8), the other is perfect, there are no other chips, there are no cracks and there has been no restoration. Size - 17.5cm high. Weight - 500gm and 520gm.

清光绪 精美的官窑风格斗彩玉堂春对瓶 康熙款
一件精美稀有、胎体厚重的对瓶，清华莲文上以斗彩风格施彩釉。底有“康熙年制”寄托款，但为后世光绪年间（1875-1908）所作。玉堂春瓷瓶的器型首创于光绪年间，同样的釉彩可见于光绪款及其时期的瓷器（光绪官窑瓷）上（见本店第318号藏品），这说明这类瓷瓶与官窑瓷器同一产地，但可能不是为宫廷所作。
品相：完好。因年代久远，镀金与釉面有些许磨损。有一只瓷瓶有一小口磕（见图8），另一只完好。无其他口磕，无冲缝，无修复。高17.5厘米，重分别为500克和520克。
