Small vase 1700 - 1800

This small vase, made in China between 1700 and 1800, is a fine example of the "famille rose" style, characterized by its vibrant, pinkish-red glaze with flecks of white. This decorative style, which emerged in the early 18th century, became very popular, especially for export wares. The vase's simple, elegant form with its flared top and a gently bulging body enhances the beauty of its striking glaze. It was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcasing the artistic achievements of the Chinese porcelain industry during this period.
