Small cilindrical vase with two women and auspicious symbols c. 1680 - 1720

This small cylindrical porcelain vase, dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, is a fine example of Chinese blue and white porcelain. The vase is decorated with two women in flowing robes, flanking a potted plant with blossoming flowers. The blue and white design, a popular style during this period, showcases the skill of the anonymous artist in creating a delicate and elegant piece. The vase, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring beauty of Chinese porcelain and its appeal to collectors worldwide.
