Lot 135 , A large Chinese enamelled crackle glaze porcelain ‘landscape’ pear shaped vase, late 19th century

A large Chinese enamelled crackle glaze porcelain ‘landscape’ pear shaped vase, late 19th century, painted with pavilions and temples in a mountainous river landscape scene, the lower register with archaistic scrolls on a yellow band, the spreading foot with cracked ice and plum blossom on a pale blue ground, apocryphal Xuande mark to base, height 59.5cm, over enamelled firing faults
£600-800

Condition:
There is evidence that the vase originally had handles to each side which have been ground off in the factory before enamelling with the landscape decoration. There’s some discolouration and speckling to the glaze all over. There is a crack to the rim and neck, otherwise in reasonable condition.
