Lot 214 , A large Chinese 'golden carp' vase, 19th century, 46cm high, base drilled

A large Chinese 'golden carp' vase, 19th century,
painted with golden carp on a powder blue ground, underglaze blue double circle to base,
46cm high, base drilled
£400-600

Condition:
The base of the vase has been drilled where it was once mounted as a lamp. There is an area of fritting/glaze loss just below the rim on the exterior above one of the golden carp, typical minor scuffs and scratches to the glaze. There are two small glaze firing faults by the edge of the foot, otherwise in good condition. Comes with a removable metal liner so it will still hold flowers and water.
