Product Description
This Pink Chinoiserie Vase reinterprets the classic blue-and-white chinoiserie style popular in the 18th century, rendered in trendy pink hues! This vase features a classic climbing-vine pattern with birds and a leaf-scale border at the top. The vase measures 12.5 inches tall and 7.5 inches in diameter, with a 3-inch diameter opening. It's perfect for displaying tall flower stems. We love white floral stems or a magnolia branch in this vase to balance the vibrant pink. Made of water-sealed clay. Imported. Pair it with the matching jar also sold in our shop.
Inspiration
This vase is inspired by the chinoiserie style, which European manufacturers developed as a lower-cost export for the American colonies. European manufacturers roughly copied designs from more refined, delicate Chinese originals. The imported pieces were popular in 18th-century Williamsburg, as shown by contemporary newspaper advertisements from merchants selling their wares. Colonial Williamsburg's collections include numerous examples of chinoiserie imports.
