Exquisite vintage hand-painted Famille Noire jardinière/cachepot/fish bowl, features high enamel relief work with pink chrysanthemums, a Chinese symbol of autumn and longevity, and many other flowers for good luck over a black background. Inside, one can find many carps swimming, which are believed to bring good fortune in business and academics. The perfect finishing of this vase and the extremely difficult process in firing the black glaze gives to this ceramic cachepot a very high value. Vintage item around 40 to 60 years old. Marked on the bottom. Measuring..... 20.5" In. Diameter....18.25"In. High.....(If you need a pair go to lot 052 where it is sold separately).

Very good
