Description :

Palace size, measuring an impressive 22 inches in diameter and 18 inches in height, this heavy, substantial piece features a traditional robust basin shape with a wide, flat rim.
Artistry & Markings:
  • Exterior Panels: Features an incredibly vibrant, hand-painted polychrome enamel scene depicting a majestic green Phoenix bird (Bird of Paradise)amidst blooming peonies, lush botanical flora, and butterflies. The upper border is decorated with an intricate, swirling ruyi-head band over a yellow ground.
  • Interior & Rim: The flat top lip is decorated with a continuous pattern of stylized pink chrysanthemums. The interior is whimsically hand-painted with detailed swimming goldfish amidst water flora—a traditional symbol of wealth and abundance.
  • Base Stamp: Features the classic stamped red iron-red seal mark on the underbase identifying it as vintage Macau Ware (circa 1970s–1980s). Pieces from this region and era are highly regarded for their superior hand-painted enamel depth and detail compared to modern digital reproductions.
Condition & Usage:
This versatile piece is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks and one .75” repair, see pics.  Minor superficial glaze imperfections or light shelf wear on the unglazed foot ring are present, consistent with age and hand-crafted production. Perfect for indoor or outdoor use as a high-end cachepot, tree planter, or stunning standalone decorative Chinoiserie focal point.
  • Dimensions: 22" Diameter x 18" Height
  • Origin: Macau (Late 20th Century Export)
  • Shipping: Extremely heavy, high-fired porcelain
