Lot #81: Pair of Antique Blue and White Dragon Vases – Museum-Quality Investment Pieces

A truly exceptional pair of antique blue and white porcelain vases, each beautifully hand-painted with imperial dragons among clouds and waves — a timeless symbol of strength, prosperity, and divine power in Chinese culture. Their tall, square form with flared necks and intricate cobalt brushwork reflects the artistry and precision of traditional kiln masters from a bygone era. These pieces are not reproductions, but genuine examples of old-world craftsmanship, likely created during a period when porcelain making reached its artistic peak. The dragons are executed with remarkable vitality — their scales, claws, and facial expressions rendered in the unmistakable flowing cobalt pigment that has made blue and white porcelain among the most coveted antiques in the world. Owning a matched pair of this caliber is exceedingly rare; most sets have been long separated over the centuries. Their symmetry and condition make them both highly decorative and deeply collectible — perfect for serious investors in fine Asian art. Comparable examples have achieved impressive results at auction, reflecting a strong and steady appreciation in value for authentic antique porcelain. A timeless acquisition for the discerning collector — heirloom-quality pieces worthy of any curated interior or investment portfolio. Dimensions: 4x4x14 Pickup category timeslot {A}
